Ah, a little sphere with a secret bonus hole! Let's calculate the volume of this intriguing object:
The volume of a solid sphere is given by the formula:
V = (4/3) * π * r³
where V represents the volume and r is the radius.
For our initial sphere with a radius of 12 inches, its volume would be:
V_sphere = (4/3) * π * (12^3)
Now let's introduce the bonus hole! The bonus hole has its own radius of 1 inch. We need to subtract its volume from that of the full sphere. The formula for finding the volume of a cylinder (which is essentially what this hole is) is:
V_cylinder = π * r² * h
However, since it goes from one side to another through the center, we can consider it as two halves. So we'll only calculate half of it.
V_hole = (1/2) * π * (1²) * 24
≈ 37.7 cubic inches
Finally, we can find the resulting volume by subtracting V_hole from V_sphere:
Volume_result = V_sphere - V_hole
≈ 72413 - 37.7
≈ **72375** cubic inches
So after all that calculation hustle, we find that the resulting volume of an initially solid sphere with a bonus hole bored through its center would be approximately **72375** cubic inches
Thanks cyborg. You are very knowledgeable about bonus holes

Ok, I don’t understand the part about calculating only half of the “bonus hole” cylinder.
I believe it's computations are wrong for both the whole sphere and the cylinder.
I come up with..
Sphere = ~7238 cubic inches
Cylinder for bonus hole = ~75.39 cubic inches
Sphere less bonus hole = 7162.61 cubic inches
For the sphere it erroneously did something like
(4/3) * ((π * 12)^3)
I'm still not sure why it would think that it would need to do half the cylinder height
