Volume of 1 tennis ball = 8.18 in³
----------------------------------------------Find Volume of 3 tennis balls:----------------------------------------------Volume of 3 tennis balls = 8.18 x 3 = 24.54 in³
----------------------------------------------Find Volume of teh cylindrical canister:----------------------------------------------Volume of the cylindrical canister = 3.14 x 1.5² x (2.5 x 3)
Volume of the cylindrical canister = 52.99 in³
----------------------------------------------Find unoccupied space:----------------------------------------------Unoccupied space = 52.99 - 24.54
Unoccupied space = 28.45 in³
----------------------------------------------Answer: 28.45 in³----------------------------------------------
