then find the volume not used
find volume of each and subtract the volume of cone from volume of cylinder
volume of cylnder=hpir^2
volume of cone=(1/3)hpir^2
cylinderh=16
r=5
V=16*pi*5^2
V=16*pi*25
V=400pi
cone
h=12
r=4
V=1/3(12)pi(4^2)
V=4pi16
V=64pi
cylinder-cone=400pi-64pi=336pi
the volume of enpty space is 336pi cm^3 or aprox 1055.04 cm^3
