The volume of a sphere is given by the equation:


V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3

In this case, we have the diameter of the sphere, to find the radius (r), we just have to divide the diameter by 2:


r=(D)/(2)=(12)/(2)=6

Now, we just have to replace the value of r into the equation of the volume, like this:


V=(4)/(3)\pi(6)^3\approx904.8

Then, the volume of this sphere is 904.8 ft^3
