The prism and the cylinder have the same height. Find the volume of metal in the part.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are no real dimensions in this post, so it is not possible to make calculations.

But the idea is to distract volume of the cylinder from the volume of the prizm.

See the lesson Solved problems on volume of cylinders, Problem 5 in this site.

You will find the calculations there.
