Problem
Jerry cuts a wedge from a 
-cm cylinder of bologna as shown by the dashed curve. Which answer choice is closest to the volume of his wedge in cubic centimeters?
![[asy] defaultpen(linewidth(0.65)); real d=90-63.43494882; draw(ellipse((origin), 2, 4)); fill((0,4)--(0,-4)--(-8,-4)--(-8,4)--cycle, white); draw(ellipse((-4,0), 2, 4)); draw((0,4)--(-4,4)); draw((0,-4)--(-4,-4)); draw(shift(-2,0)*rotate(-d-5)*ellipse(origin, 1.82, 4.56), linetype("10 10")); draw((-4,4)--(-8,4), dashed); draw((-4,-4)--(-8,-4), dashed); draw((-4,4.3)--(-4,5)); draw((0,4.3)--(0,5)); draw((-7,4)--(-7,-4), Arrows(5)); draw((-4,4.7)--(0,4.7), Arrows(5)); label("$8$ cm", (-7,0), W); label("$6$ cm", (-2,4.7), N);[/asy]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/d/b/0db552e969b4c23a74bc8bb14087a79249bd36a1.png)
Solution
The slice is cutting the cylinder into two equal wedges with equal area. The cylinder's volume is 
. The area of the wedge is half this which is 
.
