The sphere at the right fits snugly inside a cube with 6-in. Edges.
What is the approximate volume of the space between the sphere and cube?
:
Find the vol of the cube:
6^3 = 216 cu/in
:
Find the vol of the sphere:
radius of the sphere = 3 in
V = %284%2F3%29%2Api%2A3%5E3
V = 97.858
:
Find the vol between the sphere and cube:
216 - 97.858 = 118.142 cu/in
