Question 1172881: Three tennis balls that measure 8.4 cm in diameter are stacked tightly in a cylindrical can.
a) How much empty space is in each can, to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! V of each ball is (4/3)π*r^3
r is 4.2 cm
so volume of 1 is 310.3 cm^2
From that, one can get the volume of 3 tennis balls and compare that with the volume of the container, which is not specified, but is π*r^2*h
