We solved the problem by moving the balls around a meter stick. We found out that if you use up all of the big balls thaen getting smaller it uses up exsacley 1 meter. To egt a shorter line we found out that you have yo put the smaller balls in between the big balls. Putting the balls in a diffrent way dose change how long the line is because every ball is round and the bigger balls tower over the smaller balls so basically the small balls go under the big balls.
Solution for longest:
Football
Netball
Basketball
Criketball
Hockeyball 1 meter exsacly
Tennisball
Golfball
Snookerball
Squash ball
Solotion for shortist:
Hokey ball
netball
golf ball
tennis ball 82cm
squash ball
football
criketball
snooker ball
basket ball
We picked this investigation because we thought it would take a lot of solving
we have taken some pictures to show what the balls looked like in a row.
we can prove one is shorter because the short one is 87cm and the long one is i metre
the diametre is the lenth from one side to the other but going though the ball.
Football= 207mm
criket=68mm
basket ball= 226mm
netball= 223mm
Golfball=42mm
Tennisball=67mm
Snookerball=62mm
Hockyball=73mm
Squash=40mm
