    The amount of space not occupied by the rubber balls is given by:

    Volume = (volume of the container) - (volume of the rubber balls)

    volume of the container is given by:

    V=πr²h

    V=π * (5/2) ² (20)

    V=392.70 cm³

    Volume of each ball is:

    V=4/3πr³

    V=4/3π (2.5) ³=65.45 cm³

    volume of four balls

    65.45*4=261.8 cm³

    The volume of the container that is not occupied by the balls will be:

    V=392.70-261.8

    V=130.9 cm³
