    Find the volume of a cone using spherical coordinates

    Find the volume of the portion of cone z^2 = x^2 + y^2 bounded by the planes z = 1 and z = 2 using spherical coordinates I am having trouble coming up with the limits Relevant equations dV = r^2*sin(theta)*dr*d(theta)*d(phi) r = sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2) the problem is actually 2...
