Answer:

r = 3 inches

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is the following:

V = (4π/3)r^3

You know the volume so plug that in for V:

36π = (4π/3)r^3

27 = r^3 (multiply by 3/4π to get r^3 by itself)

r = 3 (you take the cube root of r and 27 to get the value of r)

Hope this helps :)
