Sagot :

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Te unoccupied volume (V) of the cube is calculated as

V = volume of cube - volume of sphere

   = 7³ - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] πr³ ( r is the radius and r = 7 ÷ 2 = 3.5 )

   = 343 - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π × 3,5³

   = 343 - [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] π × 42.875

   = 343 - 179.59438

   = 163.4....

    ≈ 160 cm³ ( to the nearest 10 cm³ )
