The volume of the snowman is the volume of the body , the volume of the head minus the volume of the intesection .
First we calculate , which is the volume of the intersection of the two balls.
The intersection is bounded below from the surface and above from .
Since this shape is radially symmetric to the -axes, we change to cylindrical coordinates.
This means and .
We find the intersection of the surfaces and to find the upper bound for the radius :
which yields and .
With these bounds we write as
.
Recall that the volume factor for cylindrical coordinates is .
The ball which makes the body has volume
The ball which makes the head has volume
Hence, the volume of the snowman is
