Best answer

Radius = 12cm

Volume of bigger sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times12^3\)

If the radius of smaller sphere is ‘r’ Volume of 27 smaller spheres = Volume of the bigger sphere

\(27\times\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3\)

\(27\times\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times12^3\)

27r3 = 123

\(r^3=\frac{12^3}{27}=\frac{1728}{27}=64\)

r3 = 64

Radius of smaller sphere = 4 cm
