Volume between two surfaces using double/triple integrals
How can I calculate the volume between the surfaces given below using double/triple integrals and polar coordinates?
$$\begin{Bmatrix}
F_2(x, y) & = & 2-x^2-y^2 \\\\
F_1(x, y)& = & \sqrt{x^2+y^2}
\end{Bmatrix}$$
$$\begin{Bmatrix}
F_2(x, y) & = & 2-x^2-y^2 \\\\
F_1(x, y)& = & \sqrt{x^2+y^2}
\end{Bmatrix}$$

Re: Volume between two surfaces using double/triple integrals
The surface $F_1=\big\{\big(x,y,\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\,\big)\;|\; (x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2\big\}$ is a cone and the surface $F_2=\big\{\big(x,y,2-x^2-y^2\big)\;|\; (x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^2\big\}$ is a hyperboloid. These two surfaces intersect at the circle $C=\big\{\big(x,y,1\big)\;|\; x^2+y^2=1\big\}$. (see picture)

So the solid in question is $$S=\Big\{\big(x,y,z\big)\in\mathbb{R}^3\;|\; -1\leqslant {x}\leqslant 1\,,\; -\sqrt{1-x^2}\leqslant{y}\leqslant\sqrt{1-x^2}\,,\;\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\leqslant {z}\leqslant 2-x^2-y^2 \Big\}$$ and the volume of $S$ is
\begin{align*}
\mathop{\iiint}\limits_{S}dV&=\int_{-1}^{1}\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\int_{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}^{2-x^2-y^2 }dz\,dy\,dx\\
&=\int_{-1}^{1}\int_{-\sqrt{1-x^2}}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}2-x^2-y^2 -\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\,dy\,dx\\
&\stackrel{(*)}{=}\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{2\pi}(2-r^2 -r)\,r\,d\varphi\,dr\\
&=\int_{0}^{1}2\pi\,(2r-r^3 -r^2)\,dr\\
&=2\pi\,\Big[r^2-\frac{r^4}{4}-\frac{r^3}{3}\Big]_{0}^{1}\\
&=2\pi\,\frac{5}{12}\\
&=\frac{5\pi}{6}\,.
\end{align*}
