How do I calculate the volume of cylinders when they intersect each other at 90 degrees. In this case they are 15 centimeters in diameter every 40 centimeters each way. I can calculate the volume of the cylinders but I don't know how to subtract 4 the intersection.

Think of the volume as a stack of squares.

Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, the complete instructions, a link to a scan of any required graphic, and a clear listing of your steps by which you obtained your solution. Thank you!
I would like to know the volume of a square meter of wall consisting of 15 centimeter diameter columns and beams that are every 40 centimeters each way.
Using an online calculator I determined the volume of the columns
Using another online calculator I determined then subtracted the volume of the intersection
I would like to verify the result of.0742947934 cubic meters / square meter of wall
