A cylindrical container of four rubber balls has a height of 20 centimeters and a diameter of 5 centimeters. Each ball in the co
ntainer has a radius of 2.5 centimeters. Find the amount of space in the container that is not occupied by rubber balls. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
The amount of space not occupied by the rubber balls is given by: Volume=(volume of the container)-(volume of the rubber balls) volume of the container is given by: V=πr²h V=π*(5/2)²(20) V=392.70 cm³
Volume of each ball is: V=4/3πr³ V=4/3π(2.5)³=65.45 cm³ volume of four balls 65.45×4=261.8 cm³
The volume of the container that is not occupied by the balls will be: V=392.70-261.8 V=130.9 cm³
