Answer:
Explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangular prism is 5 inches by 7 inches by 8 inches. Volume of the rectangular prism is expressed as
Length of the base × width of the base × height of the prism.
Volume = 5×7×8 = 280 inches ^2
Each golf ball has the shape of a sphere. The volume of a sphere is expressed as
Volume of sphere = 4/3πr^3
The golf ball has a diameter of 1.7 inches. It means that the radius of the golf ball is 1.7/2 = 0.85
Volume of each golf ball = 4/3 × 3.14×0.85^3
= 2.57 inches^3
The number of golf balls that will fit into the compartment would be
Volume if compartment/ volume of each golf ball. It becomes
280/2.57 = 109 golf balls
