Answer: 267.947 (or 267.95) inches^3
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the volume of a sphere is [tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex].
To find your radius (r), divide the diameter of 8 inches by 2. The radius is 4 inches.
Plug in your numbers to the volume equation to get [tex]\frac{4}{3} (3.14)(4^3)[/tex]. The first step is to cube 4 (4*4*4) to get 64. Now your equation is [tex]\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(64)[/tex].
Multiply 3.14 and 64 to get 200.96. The equation is now [tex]\frac{4}{3}(200.96)[/tex] or [tex]\frac{4}{3} * \frac{200.96}{1}[/tex].
Multiply the numerators (4 * 200.96) and denominators (1 * 3) to get a final equation of [tex]\frac{803.84}{3}[/tex].
Finally, divide 803.84 by 3 to get the final answer of 267.947 in^3.
