Calculate the volume of the inside of the cube which, given that the ball fits exactly, must have an inside edge measure of 5.9 cm. Calculate the volume of the ball, recalling that the radius is one-half of the diameter.

Subtract the volume of the ball from the volume of the cube. Round appropriately.
