You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the diameter of a tennis ball is 19.5/3=6.5 cm the radius is 3.25
\n" ); document.write( "volume of a cylinder is h*pi*r^2
\n" ); document.write( "volume of a sphere is pi*r^3
\n" ); document.write( "so we have
\n" ); document.write( "a=19.5*pi*3.25^2-3(pi*(3.25)^3)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 323.535
\n" ); document.write( "c=647.07, b=323.535
\n" ); document.write( "Apparently the three balls take up half of the cylinder.
\n" ); document.write( "
