The unit cell for tin (Sn) has tetragonal symmetry, with a and b lattice parameters of 0.583 and 0.318 nm, respectively. If its density, atomic weight, and atomic radius are 7.30 g/cm^3, 118.69 g/mol, and 0.151 nm, respectively, compute the atomic packing factor.

** I got stuck on this problem because I am not sure how to use the a and b lattice parameters, but I already know how to compute the Atomic Packing Factor so could you please show me step by step and explain what you did? That would help very much. Thanks!**
