Two spheres are centered at with a radius of 10, and at with radius 8. Find the volume of the region in space that is inside both spheres.
Round your answer to two decimal places.

Let's work in 2D with the cross section and then revolve it to get the solid volume of intersection.
Center distance = ( 1 0 − 2 ) 2 + ( 1 2 − 4 ) 2 + ( 1 8 − 8 ) 2 = 6 4 + 6 4 + 1 0 0 = 2 2 8
cos α = 2 ( 8 ) ( 2 2 8 8 2 + 8 2 − 1 0 2 and 1 0 sin β = 8 sin α
Giving angles: α = 3 7 . 3 7 and β = 2 9 . 0 5
Areas: A 1 = 8 2 ( 2 α − 4 sin 2 α ) = 5 . 4 3 6 and A 2 = 1 0 2 ( 2 β − 4 sin 2 β ) = 4 . 1 2 6 9
Centroids: h 1 = 3 2 R 2 α sin 2 α 2 − 2 cos 3 α − 3 cos α sin 2 α = 1 . 8 4 8 7 h 2 = 3 2 R 2 β sin 2 β 2 − 2 cos 3 β − 3 cos β sin 2 β = 1 . 8 3 7 2
Combined Centroid = h = A 1 + A 2 A 1 h 1 + A 2 h 2 = 1 . 8 4 3 8
Volume = 2 π h ( A 1 + A 2 ) = 1 1 0 . 7 8
