Given:

Diameter of basketball = 24.2 cm)

Radius = d/2

Radius of the basketball = 24.2 cm/2
Radius of the basketball = 12.1 cm

Determine the volume of the basketball.

Formula for the volume of the sphere:

V = 4/3 πr³

Solution:

Substitute the given value of radius to the formula for the volume of the sphere.

V = 4/3 π(12.1 cm)³

V = 4/3 π(1,771.56 cm^3)

V = 2,362.08 π cm^3

V =  7420.6 cm^3

Final answer:

V =  7420.6 cm^3
