Answer:

33.5 cubic inches.

Explanation:

If the softball fits perfectly inside the cubical box, the softball is a sphere with diameter of 4 inches (radius os 2 inches).

The volume of a sphere is given by:

$V= (4)/(3)\pi r^3$

For r = 2 inches:

$V= (4)/(3)*3.14* 2^3\\V=33.5\ in^3$

The volume of the softball is 33.5 cubic inches.
