The shaded region at right represents a flag (the upper boundary is a semi-circle). Calculate the volume of the solid formed when the flag is rotated about the pole. In a complete sentence, describe the rotated shape. To help you visualize this, use the

Hint 1:

It's a sphere on the outside with two cones removed from the inside.

Hint 2:

$V = \text{ sphere} − 2\text{(cone)}$

Hint 3:

The radius of the sphere is $3$ . The radius and height of each cone is also $3$ .
