The container fits 3 tennis balls. The height of a tennis ball is the diameter of the ball. so the height of the container is 3 diameters.

The radius is 1/2 the diameter, so the container would be 6 radius tall.

To find the radius of a tennis ball divide t he height of the container by 6.

The answer would be B.
