    Since C=πd, d=C/π

    So the diameter of the large basketballs are:

    d=29.5/π in

    d≈9.39 in

    The diameter of the small basketballs are:

    d=27.75/π in

    d≈8.83 in

    So the large basketballs will have to be packaged in the 10 in boxes and the small basketballs will have to be packaged in the 9 in boxes.
