To find the volume of a sphere, we use the formula V = (4/3)πr³, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Given the diameter of the basketball is 9.2 inches, we can find the radius by halving the diameter:
radius = 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches
Now, we can substitute the radius into the formula:
V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (4.6)^3
V ≈ 407.51 in.³
Therefore, the volume of the basketball is approximately 407.51 inches cubed.
