The way this is set up, at first I thought I would just need to assemble the spheres and do a simple volume formula. However, it has been dismantled for a reason. That is the part of the formula I do not understand. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A propane gas tank consists of a cylinder with a hemisphere at each end. Find the volume of the tank if the overall length is 20 feet and the diameter of the cylinder is 8 feet, as shown in the figure.
-------
It's a sphere of radius 4 feet, plus a cylinder with 4 = 4 ft and h = 12 ft.
-----
Vol = 4pi*4^3/3 + pi*4^2*12
= 256pi/3 + 192pi cu ft.

IDK what your comment on dismantled means.
