Looking at the image, the diameter of the sphere is equal to 6 ft.

Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is equal to 3 ft.

Now, using r = 3 in the volume formula, we have:


\begin{gathered} V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3 \\ V=(4)/(3)\cdot3\cdot3^3 \\ V=108\text{ ft}^3 \end{gathered}

Therefore the sphere volume is 108 ft³.
