Question

A cylindrical container of three rubber balls has a height of 18 centimeters and a diameter of 6 centimeters. Each ball in the container has a radius of 3 centimeters. Find the amount of space in the container that is not occupied by rubber balls. Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

The volume of the cylinder is V=πr2h, where h = 18 cm and r = 3 cm The volume of each ball V=43πr3, where r = 3 cm. So find the volume of the cylinder then subtract the volume of three balls to find the volume of the unoccupied space
