You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3
First ball: 4/3 x pi x 3^3 = 113.097 cm^3
Second ball: 4/3 x pi x 4^3 = 268.083 cm^3
Third ball: 4/3 x pi x 5^3 = 523.599 cm^3
Total volumes = 904.779 cm^3
4/3 x pi x r^3 = 904.779 cm^3
r^3 = (3 x 904.779)/4 x pi) = 216.00 cm^3
radius = cube root of 216.00 cm^3
radius = 6 cm.
Hope this helps:-)

3%5E3+%2B+4%5E3+%2B+5%5E3+=+216+=+6%5E3
--> 6 cm
