The problem reminds me of the calculus problem "What is the volume of a drum laying on it's side with contents measuring 8 inches at the deepest point.
My answer: Stand the drum upright, radius squared time pi times the measured depth of the contents.
I'm sorry but that is the wrong answer.
The correct answer is, it's a trick question. The contents falls out
If I graph the circle with center, (0,-294), and then graph, "y=4, y=8, y=12... y=80" I can just find the intersections of the lines and the circle, and that will be the lengths correct?
What is the equation of a circle again in Y= form?... (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
So... x^2 + (y + 294)^2 = 294^2
x^2 + y^2 + 588y + 86436 = 86436
- 86436 -86436
------------------------------------
x^2 + y^2 + 588y = 0
Anyone want to help me from here? I know... basic algebra 2, but I'm not sure if I am doing right so far....

*sigh* The things people will do for some rep points. Unless the equation contains MHz, There probably isn't much I can do for you.
