Answer:

16.6 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of space left = volume of prism - volume of 3 golf balls

volume of prism = base area x height

base area = area of a square  = length² = 2² = 4

volume = 4 x 6 = 24

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 x pi x r^3

r = 1.68/2 = 0.84

4/3 x 3.14 x 0.84^3 = 2.48

volume of 3 balls = 2.48 x 3 =
