Volume of Solids
 

Volume of Solids problem 30


In a cube with edge a = 32cm, draw 8 identical spheres in two layers of 4 so that they touch. What is the ratio of the sum of the volumes of the spheres and the volume of the cube? How does the ratio change if we draw 27 identical spheres in three layers of 9 or 64 identical spheres in four layers of 16 in the same cube?
