\n" ); document.write( "\"V=4%2F3%28pi%29r%5E3\" volume of a sphere
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let V(C) be the volme of the tennis can and V(S) be the volume of a tennis ball
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "height of sphere is 3(7)=21....diameter of each ball is 7cm
