Find the volume contained inside all three cylinders. Would anyone show me how to use double integral to solve this problem first with the Cartesian coordinate and then with polar coordinate? Answer: $\displaystyle 16 - 8 \sqrt{2}$

All 8 octants are identical. That volume would seem to then be $2-\sqrt{2}$ see if you can work it that way.
