Hi Guys.

Need help with this question and some tips too, I have my answers but would like to compare as no MS.

The diameter of a golf ball is 4.27cm
b) A golf ball is in the corner of a right angle box. What is the distance between the centre of the ball and the corner?

c) What is the volume of the box with the balls arranged as below? (see attachment)
