can you help me here first.
A sphere is inscribed in a rectangular solid 5 cm in length, 4 cm in width and 3 cm in height. Another sphere of the same volume also inscribed in a cube. Find the volume of a cube .

Answer 9

d =sqrt of l^2+w^2+h^2

Answer 10

i got 7.07

Answer 11

I think the sphere will be inscribed in a cube that has the same dimensions as the smallest length of the rectangular solid

Answer 12

so the side of the cube is 3?

Answer 13

so the volume must be 27 cm^3

Answer 14

yes I think so
