The maximum radius of each ball is 3.33 cm.

<h3>What is a Cylinder?</h3>

A cylinder is a three-dimensional figure which is made of two parallel circular bases separated at a certain distance by a curved surface of the same radius as that of the bases.

A 20 cm nail perfectly fits the cylinder.

So the height of the cylinder = 20cm.

A sphere is a three-dimensional geometrical figure analogous to a circle. All the points of the sphere are at the same distance from the center.

If 3 spheres have to be fitted inside the cylinder,

The sum of the diameter of the spheres will be equal to the height of the cylinder.

The spherical balls are identical and so will have the same diameter

Let the maximum diameter of the sphere that can fit in the cylinder is d cm

Then,

d + d + d = 20

3d = 20

d = 20/3 = 6.67 cm

r = 3.33 cm

The maximum radius that the spheres can have to fit in the cylinder is 3.33 cm.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

8 km by motorbike.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between itahari and Damak is  42 km.

Mr. Dhamala travelled 18.325 km by a  bus / 15.675 km by a taxi and the remaining distance by a motorbike.

Let he covered x distance by motorbike. So,

Remaining distance = Total distance -(distance covered by bus + distance by taxi)

= 42 -(18.325 +15.675 )

= 42-34

= 8 km

So, he travelled 8 km by motorbike.
