A ball with a volume of 250 centimetres cubed is placed in a box.
\n" ); document.write( " The box is shaped like a cube and the ball is touching the centre of each face of the cube (on the inside).
\n" ); document.write( " Calculate the volume of empty space inside the cube.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the radius of the ball using the volume formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2F3\"\"pi%2Ar%5E3\" = 250
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2Api%2Ar%5E3\" = 750
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3\" = \"750%2F%284%2Api%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r%5E3\" = 59.6831
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"59.6831%5E%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = 3.908 cm is radius
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2(3.908) = 7.816 cm is the diameter, this is also the length of the side of the box
\n" ); document.write( "7.816^3 = 477.465 cu/cm is the volume of the box
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "477.465 - 250 = 227.465 cu/cm is the empty space around the ball in the box
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
