The height of the cylinder (h) is three time the diameter of each ball, or:
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+3%2813%29\"cm.
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+39\"cm.
\n" ); document.write( "The radius of the cross-section of the cylinder is the same as the radius of a ball, or:
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+13%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+6.5\"cm.
\n" ); document.write( "a) The volume of the cylinder is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bc%5D+=+%28pi%29r%5E2%2Ah\" Substitute \"r+=+6.5\",\"h+=+39\" and use \"pi+=+3.14\" as an approximation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bc%5D+=+%283.14%29%286.5%29%5E2%2839%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bc%5D+=+5173.935\"cu.cm. Round to nearest cubic cm. to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bc%5D+=+5174\"cu.cm.
\n" ); document.write( "b) The total volume of the three balls is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bb%5D+=+3%284%2F3%29%28pi%29r%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bb%5D+=+4%283.14%29%286.5%29%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bb%5D+=+3449.29\"cu.cm. Round the nearest cubic cm. to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bb%5D+=+3449\"cu.cm.
\n" ); document.write( "c) The percent volume of the container occupied by the three balls is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+%283449%2F5174%29%2A100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+66.66%25\"%
\n" ); document.write( "
