Well If each equal radii sphere touch   then distance from gap centre to sphere  center is how many times r ?  I think its simple r=(a/( (√3)))

distance from center of sphere to   center of sphere =2r  distance from centroid to center of  sphere =a=(((√6) (2r))/4)=(((√6)r)/2)  ⇒r=((2a)/( (√6)))=(((√2)a)/( (√3)))

i got b=2((√6)+1)r

igotb=2(6+1)r
