You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, find the volume of a tennis ball.
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+4%2Api%2Ar%5E3%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+4%2Api%2A%282.5%2F2%29%5E3%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=8.2in%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "If 3 are packed into a cylinder, like the cans tennis balls are sold in, the volume would be 3 times the volume of a ball,
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=3%2A8.2in%5E3=24.5in%5E3\"... that's the volume of the 3 balls.... \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To put them into a cylinder, the cylinder would have in inside diameter of 2.5 inches (or radius 1.2in), and it would be 3 times the diameter of a ball, or 7.5 inches.
\n" ); document.write( "For a cylinder,
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+pi%2A1.25%5E2%2A7.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=36.8in%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
