53243π ≈ 5575.3 cubic centimeters

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given sphere.

The volume of a sphere is four thirds the product of π and the cube of the radius. V=4/3π r^3 In the diagram we can see that the radius is 11centimeters. Therefore, we can substitute 11 for r in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side.

V=4/3π r^3

Substitute

r= 11

V=4/3π ( 11)^3
