Question

Three tennis balls are stored in a cylindrical can with

Answer 1

Answer:

87.9 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the can

• V = πr²h [volume of a cylinder]
• V = 3.14 x 2 x 2 x 8
• V = 3.14 x 32
• V = 100.48 in³

Volume of 3 tennis balls

• V = 4/3πr³ [volume of one sphere]
• V = 3 x 4/3 x 3.14 x 1³ [for 3 tennis balls]
• V = 4 x 3.14
• V = 12.56 in³

Remaining space

• Volume of can - Volume occupied by 3 tennis balls
• 100.48 - 12.56
• 87.92 in³ ⇒ 87.9 in³
