Let the side of box be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume of box will be x^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The diameter of the ball will be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so radius will be x/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume of ball will be 4/3 * pi*(x/2)^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 4/3* pi*x^3/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4/3*1/8 +pi*x^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/6 *pi^x^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the ratio of the volume of ball to box will be \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/6 * pi* x^3 / x^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=1/6*3.14 *100\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "52.33 % of the volume of box\r
\n" ); document.write( "
