Answer:

5,234 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula:

V = (4/3)πr^3

where V is the volume, π is pi (approximately 3.14), and r is the radius of the sphere.

Since the diameter of the bowling ball is 21.6 centimeters, the radius is half of that:

r = d/2 = 21.6/2 = 10.8 centimeters

Substituting this value into the formula, we get:

V = (4/3)πr^3 = (4/3)π(10.8)^3 ≈ 5,233.8 cubic centimeters

Rounding this to the nearest whole number, we get a measurement closest to the volume of the bowling ball of 5,234 cubic centimeters.
