Answered by MathMate
Height of cylinder, h
= 3 times the diameter of tennis balls
= 3*2.5"
= 7.5"
Diameter of cylinder, d
= diameter of tennis ball
= 2.5"
Volume of cylinder
= πd²h/4

Volume of each tennis ball, v
= 4π(d/2)³/3
Volume of three tennis balls
= 3v
= 4π(d/2)³

Interstitial space
= Volume of cylinder - volume of three balls.
