Smallest Cube that encloses a sphere
16. A sphere has radius 6 inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the smallest cube that contains the ENTIRE sphere?
Is it 1728?
The integral of hope is reality.

Re: Smallest Cube that encloses a sphere
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
