Question

7 copper spheres with radii of 4

Answer 1

We will see that the cube must be 10.23 inches tall.

How tall is the cube?

The volume of the cube must be equal to the volume of the 4 spheres. Remember that the volume of a sphere of radius R is:

V = (4/3)*3.14*R^3

In this case, the radius is 4 inches, so we can write:

V = (4/3)*3.14*(4 in)^3 = 267.95 in^3

Then the volume of the 4 spheres is:

4*267.95 in^3 = 1,071.79 in^3

The volume of a cube of side length S is given by:

V = S^3

Then we must have:

S^3 = 1,071.79 in^3

S = ∛(1,071.79 in^3) = 10.23 in

We conclude that the cube is 10.23 inches tall.
