compute volume of two intersecting cylinders in matlab

main.m
% Define the dimensions of the first cylinder
radius1 = 3; % radius of first cylinder
height1 = 10; % height of first cylinder

% Define the dimensions of the second cylinder
radius2 = 4; % radius of second cylinder
height2 = 8; % height of second cylinder

% Compute the volume of the two intersecting cylinders
vol1 = pi*radius1^2*height1; % volume of first cylinder
vol2 = pi*radius2^2*height2; % volume of second cylinder

% Find the overlapping volume
overlapping_height = min(height1, height2); % overlapping height
overlapping_volume = pi*min(radius1, radius2)^2*overlapping_height; % volume of overlap

total_volume = vol1 + vol2 - overlapping_volume; % total volume of the two intersecting cylinders

disp(['The total volume of the two intersecting cylinders is: ', num2str(total_volume)]);
