The volume of a sphere uses the following formula:
Because the question asks to use 3.14 in place of pi, the formula will now look like this:
We are given a diameter of 118 feet. The radius is half of the diameter, so divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius:
Plug this value into the formula, and solve with a calculator:
Although our result is one cubic foot off, the answer is <span>A. 859,852ft^3.
(859,852 is the result if the constant in the given formula is 4.18666, but the result with infinitely repeating numbers is 859,853.)</span>
