The edges of a cube are 24cm long.Find the volume of the largest sphere that can be cut from it?

Since the sphere fits perfectly in the cube, its diameter is the same as the width of the cube, or 24 cm.
This translates to a radius of 12 cm. since the radius is half the diameter.

Substitute 12 for r in the sphere volume formula.
