A round hole is drilled through the center of a spherical solid with a radius (r). The resulting cylindrical hole has height 4 cm.

a)What is the volume of the solid that remains?

b)What is unusual about the answer?

The part that's left "inside" the sphere would be a perfect cylinder. In other words, neglect the round tops.
