Answer:
what do you need help with
No because they are straight lines, they cannot curve to intersect more than once, think of a capital X.
Vbox-vspheres
vbox=, I assume we are dealing with l=w=h
so
v=lwh=12^3=1728
vsphere=(4/3)pir^3
r=3
vsphere=(4/3)pi3^3=4pi9=36pi
8 of them so
8 times 36pi=288pi or about 904.7786842338604526772412943845 cubic inches
vbox-sphere=1728-904.7786842338604526772412943845=823.2213157661395473227587056155
space filled by packing beads is about 823.22 cubic inches
beads percent is 823.2213157661395473227587056155/1728 times 100=47.64% filled by beads
