paperweight is a cube with a sphere inside. the sphere touches each face of the cube at one point. the radius of the sphere is 3.25 centimeters. How much space inside the cube is not inside the sphere?
:
From the description of this object, we can surmise that the diameter of the
sphere is the dimension of the cube, namely 6.5 cm.
:
Vol of the cube - Vol of the sphere = space not inside the sphere
6.5^3 - =
274.625 - =
274.625 - 147.793 = 130.83 cu inches not inside sphere
