Assuming that the box is a cube with equivalent side lengths: L=W=H
Volume of Cube = L x W x H or (side length)3
Volume of a sphere (the ball) = π x r2
If the radius of the Ball = 1cm and 12 = 1
The volume of the Ball would be calculated as π x 1 = π
# of Balls x π = total volume of box(cube)
Finally calculate the cubic root of the previous product to determine the length of one side

Draw a picture. each ball is 1 cm. So, if, for example, there are 4 length, 4 width, and 4 depth balls, then, 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 cubic cm. You've not given any dimensions, so a solution is not possible.
