Answer:

Answer choice B 4,136.42 cubic yards

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere =
=4/3\pi r^(3)

We have r = 11 yards and the sphere was full at the beginning of the day

So volume of water originally stored in this sphere =
(4/3)(3.14)(11)^(3) = 5572.45 cubic yards given that
\pi = 3.14

The volume of water lost during the day = 1436.06 cubic yards

So remaining water is

5572.45 - 1436.06 = 4,136.42 cubic yards ie choice B

Note that answer choices A and D are trick answers

Choice A is the original volume of water and choice D is the amount of water lost
