Error in calculation of intersection of three cylinders
$begingroup$
Set $A:={(x,y,z)in mathbb R^{3}: x^2+y^2leq 1, x^2+z^2leq 1, y^2+z^2 leq 1}$
I want to find the volume. I have to use symmetry and without polar coordinates.
My idea: Using symmetry we can look at the first octant and can restrict $x,y,z geq 0$
$lambda^{d}(A)=int_{A}dxdydz$
And we then set $0leq zleq 1$ and $0 leq x leq sqrt{1-z^2}$ and $0 leq y leq sqrt{1-z^2}$
So $int_{A}dxdydz=int_{0}^{1}int_{0}^{sqrt{1-z^2}}int_{0}^{sqrt{1-z^2}}dxdydz=int_{0}^{1}2sqrt{1-z^2}dz$
And then I would use substitution, namely, $z = sin{x}Rightarrow dz =cos{x}dx$, so $int_{0}^{1}2sqrt{1-z^2}dz=int_{0}^{frac{pi}{2}}2sqrt{1-sin{x}^2}cos{x}dx=2int_{0}^{frac{pi}{2}}cos^{2}{x}dx=2int_{0}^{frac{pi}{2}}frac{1}{2}+frac{1}{2}cos{2x}dx=int_{0}^{frac{pi}{2}}1+cos{2x}dx=x+frac{sin{2x}}{2}vert_{0}^{frac{pi}{2}}=frac{pi}{2}$
So getting back to eight octants, we'd get $lambda^{d}(A)=4pi$ but I have been told this is incorrect. I do not understand where I went wrong

$4pi$ is quite clearly too much: we should expect a volume close to (and a bit larger than) the volume of a unit sphere, i.e. $frac{4}{3}pi$. Assume that the value of $zin[-1,1]$ has been fixed. The $z$-section of our body is shaped as
$$ left{begin{array}{rcl}x^2+y^2&leq& 1\x^2,y^2&leq &1-z^2end{array}right.$$
hence it is a square with side length $2sqrt{1-z^2}$ for any $|z|geq frac{1}{sqrt{2}}$ and a circle with four circle segments being removed for any $|z|leqfrac{1}{sqrt{2}}$. In the former case the area of the section is $4(1-z^2)$, in the latter it is $pi + 4|z|sqrt{1-z^2}-4arcsin(|z|)$. The wanted volume is so
$$ 2left[int_{0}^{1/sqrt{2}}4(1-z^2),dz + int_{1/sqrt{2}}^{1}pi + 4zsqrt{1-z^2}-4arcsin(z),dzright]$$
i.e. $color{blue}{8sqrt{2}-2pi}approx 5$.

hence it is a square with side length $2sqrt{1-z^2}$ for any $|z|geq frac{1}{sqrt{2}}$ and a circle with four circle segments being removed for any $|z|leqfrac{1}{sqrt{2}}$. In the former case the area of the section is $4(1-z^2)$, in the latter it is $pi + 4|z|sqrt{1-z^2}-4arcsin(|z|)$. The wanted volume is so
$$ 2left[int_{0}^{1/sqrt{2}}4(1-z^2),dz + int_{1/sqrt{2}}^{1}pi + 4zsqrt{1-z^2}-4arcsin(z),dzright]$$
i.e. $color{blue}{8sqrt{2}-2pi}approx 5$.
