To find the volume of a sphere, we use the formula:
V = (4/3)Ï€r^3
Given that the basketball has a diameter of 9.2 inches, we can divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius:
r = 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches
Now we can substitute the value of the radius into the formula:
V = (4/3)Ï€(4.6)^3
V ≈ 407.51 inches cubed
Therefore, the volume of the basketball is approximately 407.51 in.3
