Answer:

2,143.6in³

Explanation:

The beach ball is spherical in nature;

Volume of the ball = 4/3πr³ where;

r is the radius of the ball = 8in

Substitute into the formula;

Volume of the ball = 4/3π(8)³

Volume of the ball = 4/3π(512)

Volume of the ball = 2,048(3.14)/3

Volume of the ball = 2,143.57in³

hence the volume of the ball is 2,143.6in³
