Question

amistre64 · Answer

the closest you are away from any given axis is 2

anonymous · Answer

so my radius would be 2^2?

amistre64 · Answer

your radius = 2 :)  since the center is 2 away

anonymous · Answer

sonofa can u help? would the volume b squared or cubed or just 24?

anonymous · Answer

so i can use (x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 + (z-c)^2 = r^2 to get the equation?

anonymous · Answer

shanny inches x inches x inches is inches cubed

amistre64 · Answer

yes, with a,b,c being the center points

amistre64 · Answer

and r = 2

anonymous · Answer

kk thanks sonofa :D

anonymous · Answer

how do you gather the radius can only be 2 away at themost?  is that just an analytical though?

amistre64 · Answer

the first quadrant is bounded by the xyz axises; any thing that goes beyong those bounds is out of bounds

amistre64 · Answer

since you closes distance to any given axis is "2"; your radius has to be confined to "2"
