Twenty wooden spheres, each with a radius of 2 inches, are packed snugly into a square box that is 18 inches on each side. The remaining space is filled with packing beads. What is the volume occupied by the spheres?

Vsphere=[tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]

Answer:

670.21 inches^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the spheres, all you need to know is the formula for the volume of a sphere, which you've included in your problem. From the problem, you also know that r = 2. From here, you calculate the volume of 1 of the spheres, which turns out to be:

V = 33.51032

Since there are 20 spheres in this box, you multiple the volume of a single sphere by 20 to get the total volume occupied by the spheres.

V = 20 * 33.51032

V = 670.2064

If you round to 2 decimal places, this becomes 670.21.
