Use the formula for the volume of a sphere to find the volume of a basketball that has a diameter of 9.2 inches. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.(1 point)

wrong
My apologies for the error. Let's calculate it correctly:
Given that the diameter of the basketball is 9.2 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, so r = 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3.
Substitute r = 4.6 in. and π ≈ 3.14 into the formula:
V = (4/3)(3.14)(4.6)^3
V ≈ 4.19 * 3.14 * 97.336
V ≈ 1302.83 cubic inches
So, the volume of the basketball is approximately 1302.83 cubic inches.
thats not option
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it:
Given that the diameter of the basketball is 9.2 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, so r = 9.2 / 2 = 4.6 inches.
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3.
Substitute r = 4.6 in. and π ≈ 3.14 into the formula:
V = (4/3)(3.14)(4.6)^3
V ≈ (4/3)(3.14)(97.336)
V ≈ 410.7888 cubic inches
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the basketball is approximately 410.79 cubic inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is 407.51 in.3.
