4599^3 (choice b) is correct

Miya Norton · Answer 2

Volume of Sphere is V = (4/3) * PI*r^3

The radius of the volleyball is 13 inches

So V = (4/3) * 3.14 * 13^3 = 9198 cubic inches

Volume of a cylinder is V=pi * r^2 * h

Since they say the ball fits perfectly

The radius is 13 and the height is 26 (the diameter of the ball)

So V=3.14 * 13^2 * 26 = 13,797 cubic inches

13797 - 9198 = 4,599 cubic inches of empty space
