Question

a can of tennis balls consists of three spheres stacked vertically inside a cylinder the balls just Touch the top, bottom, and sides of the cylinder. A diameter of each ball is 6.67 cm. find The Following. use 3.14 for pie and round to the nearest hundredth

Answers

height of one ball is 6.67 (its diameter)
height of 3 balls is therefore 20cm

if you want volume of all 3 balls, that'd be 3(1/6 πd^3)
where d is the diameter.

volume of cylinder is just
πr^2 h = π/4 d^2 h = 3π/4 d^3 = 3π/4 (20/3)^3 = 200π/9

Or maybe something else, since you didn't ask a question.
