A length of wire one-hundredth of an inch in diameter is wound closely into a ball 24 inches in diameter. There is no air gaps in the ball due to being wound so tightly. Determine length of wire.

The ball is a sphere.

The wire is a cylinder.

Wire is .01 in. in diameter.

Cylinder volume : pi * r^2 * h.

Sphere volume : 4/3 * pi * r^3.

Not sure how to proceed.
