Answer:

The spherical storage tank will it hold 1436.75 cubic feet of water

Explanation:

To get how many cubic feet of water it hold , we have to get the volume of the sphere.

The formula is 4/3 π r³

where r is the radius of the sphere.

We know the diameter is 14 ft , and the radio is half of the diameter.

So, radio is 14 ft/2= 7 ft

Volume=4/3 π r³=4/3 π 7³

Volume= 4/3 *π *343=1436.75

V=(4/3)πr^3
R=radius
Diameter= 2 times R
so,
R=7 ft
plugging the values;
V=(4/3)(3.14)(7)^3
V=1436.02 Cubic feet
