Question

A tennis ball has a diameter of 2.7 in. How many tennis balls will fit inside of a storage

unit that is 4 feet wide, 2.5 feet long, and 2 feet high?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

The diameter of a tennis ball, d = 2.7 inches

We need to find the number of tennis balls will fit inside of a storage unit that is 4 feet wide, 2.5 feet long, and 2 feet high.

Let there are x number of tennis balls.

`x=\frac{\text{Volume of box}}{\text{Volume of 1 tennis ball}}\\\\x=(4* 2.5* 2)/((4)/(3)\pi * ((2.7)/(3))^3)\\\\x=6.54`

Approximately

x = 7

Hence, there are 7 balls.
