R = radius of basketball
r = radius of tennis ball
R = 3.6r cube both sides
the ratio of the radii is 1: 3.6
cube both sides to find the ratio of the volumes
1 : 46.656 ( this many times greater)
Mathematics can be tricky so precise definitions are important. Without them there can be confusion which more often then not will generate a wrong answer. With clear precise definitions it is easier to understand the topic. Therefore, it is easier to get the correct answer.
