\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=18\pi \end{cases}\implies 18\pi =2\pi r\implies \cfrac{18\pi }{2\pi }=r\implies 9=r \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\ V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=9 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{4\pi (9)^3}{3}\implies V=972\pi ~in^3
