Answer:

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula:

V = 4/3πr^3

Where V is the volume, π is pi (approximately 3.14), and r is the radius.

Given the volume of the sphere is 24, we can use that equation to find the radius:

24 = 4/3πr^3

Then we can divide both sides by 4/3π:

r^3 = 24/(4/3π)

r = (24/(4/3π))^(1/3)

We know that pi is approximately equal to 3.14, so we can approximate the radius as:

r ≈ (24/(4/3*3.14))^(1/3)

Solving that equation, we get

r ≈ 2.24

The approximate radius of the sphere is 2.24 units.

It's worth noting that the cube root is an approximation, so the result is rounded to two decimal points.
