Given data in problem
Diameter of the spherical ball= 21 cm
Radius of the ball = 21/2 cm = 10.5 cm
Volume of spherical ball = [4/3] πr³
= [4/3] × π × [10.5]³
= 4851 cm³
Volume of each cube = 1³ [ side = 1 ……given ]
= 1 cm³
Number of cubes = Volume of spherical ball / Volume of each cube
= 4851 / 1
= 4851
∴ 4851 cubes are formed
