A cube with an edge length of 6 contains the largest possible sphere that completely fits inside of it. If the volume V of a sphere with radius r is given by the formula \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\), what is the volume of the empty space inside the cube?

A. 36(π^3 − 6)
B. 36π
C. 36(6 − π)
D. 36(π − 1)
E. 36(4 − π)

The largest possible sphere that fits insides the cube has its diameter equal to the length of the edge of the cube. Since the edge of the cube has a length of 6, the diameter of the sphere also has a length of 6, and thus its radius has a length of 3.

Since the volume of the cube is 6^3 = 216 and that of the sphere is 4/3 * π * 3^3 = 36π. The volume of the empty space inside the cube is 216 - 36π = 36(6 - π).
