You need to find the volume of the cylinder and each ball.

Sphere= \frac{4}{3}  \pi r^{3}
\frac{4}{3} \pi 3^{3}
\frac{4}{3} 3.14 (27)
\frac{4}{3} 85
113 for each x 3 balls = 339 cu cm

Cylinder = \pi r^{2} h
\pi 3^{2} (18)
3.14 * 9 * 18
508.7 cu cm

509 - 339 = 170 cu cm of air.

You have 3 spheres inside a cylinder like for a can of tennis balls. Notice the radius of the cylinder is 3 cm, the same as the radius of the spheres, so the spheres just fit width wise, and 3 spheres height would be 6 radius lengths or 18, which is the same as the cylinder height, so the three spheres are packed to the best fit.

The volume not occupied by the spheres will be the total cylinder volume take away the three spheres volumes.

The cyinder volume with height h=18 and radius r=3 will be approx..


The volume of 3 spheres with radius r=3 will be


The volume unoccupied by the spheres inside the cylinder is the difference in those two volumes..

A circus performer walks on a tightrope 25 feet above the ground. The tightrope is supported by two beams and two support cables
miv72 [106K]
The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.

If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.

Just set up and use the Pythagorean Theorem.

15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c
