Since the side of the cube is 20 cm, then the maximum diameter of the sphere will be 20 cm, and its radius 10cm,
As we know the volume of the sphere is given by the formula V=%284%2F3%29%2A%28pi%29%2AR%5E3
Substituting in the above formula we get:
V=%284%2F3%29%2A%28pi%29%2A10%5E3=4000%2A%28pi%29%2F3, approximately V=4187 cm^3.
