A toy company needs to package balls with a 2-inch radius in sets of two. They have two options: a square prism or a cylinder. The dimensions are shown below.

It costs the same to produce both packages, so the company wants to reduce the amount of wasted space, or space not taken by the balls. Which package should the company choose?

the cylinder because it has about 27.5 in. 3 less wasted space than the prism

the cylinder because it has about 61 in. 3 less wasted space than the prism

the prism because it has about 22.5 in. 3 less wasted space than the cylinder

the prism because it has about 67 in. 3 less wasted space than the cylinder

The answer to this one is A) The cylinder because it has about 27.5 in. 3 less wasted space than the prism.
