From one side, a plot is required to solve the problem.

From the other side,  an access to the plot requires an Username and a Password,  but I do not want to know these secrets . . .


General instruction:   from the volume of the larger prism subtract the volumes of the two cutouts,  that are the prisms,  too.


After giving you a general instruction, the tutors' participation is not required, since the solution is  EXTREMELY  simple . . .


    Making calculations is the students' honor duty and a privilege.



Happy calculations !
