Question

Three balls are packaged in a cylindrical container as shown below. The balls just touch the top, bottom, and sides of the cylinder. The diameter of each ball is 13 cm. What is the total volume of the three balls?

-pls hurry and explain,thanks​

Answer 1

3,451 cm³

Explanation:

The ball is a sphere.

Formula for finding the volume of a sphere = ⁴/3*πr³

Volume of the 3 balls = 3(⁴/3*πr³)

Where,

radius (r) = ½ of diameter = ½(13) = 6.5 cm

Plug in the values into the formula:

Volume of the 3 balls = 3(⁴/3*π*6.5³)

= 4*π*274.625

= 3,451.03953 ≈ 3,451 cm³
