If it's not asking much... could you draw a quick sketch explaining what you've just stated?The volume of the holey cube is equal to the volume of the solid silver 4 cm cube minus the quantity of three times the volume of a cylinder 3 cm in diameter and 4 cm long, minus three times the volume of a 3 cm sphere, plus the volume of 1, 3 cm sphere.
If you take the volume of one cylinder and subtract the volume of the middle sphere.....that gives you the two end cap volumes.
Repeat for remaining cylinders....add one sphere volume for the center, subtract all that from the starting volume..... and presto.......you have the volume of the remaining holey cube.
Right?
