Yeah News twenty four and eight packs time three twenty

02:02

four twenty four is the number Timothy compact 204 ping

02:05

pong ball so he can prep for a really intense

02:08

game of ping pong War on the problem Asked how

02:10

much empty space there is left so we're gonna find

02:13

out how much space there is in the box It's

02:16

occupied by the ping pong ball so it's a volume

02:19

question We've got the volume of a sphere Remember that

02:21

formula four thirds pi r cubed Well the diameter the

02:24

balls two inches So the radius is half of that

02:26

which is one inch and the amount of empty space

02:28

in the box The volume ball ping pong balls subtracted

02:30

from the total volume of the box So it's pretty

02:32

simple right So let's see that's going to give us

02:35

this equation here four times eight times six minus twenty

02:38

four times this quantity It's a building with box and

02:40

that'll just simplify too Well See the volume of the

02:44

box was for a sex that's one ninety two cubic

02:47

inches and that we're going to subtract the volume of

02:49

the ping pong balls that they take up which is

02:51

about thirty two pie So the answer is about ninety

02:54

one point four seven That is there would be approximately

02:57

ninety one point four seven cubic inches of empty space

02:59

left in the box Maybe timothy can fill that space

03:03

with his toy story tears Anything All right we're done
