The diameter, D, of a sphere is 9.2mm. Calculate the sphere's volume, V. Use the value 3.14 for pi, and round your answer to the nearest tenth. (Do not round any intermediate computations.)

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V = (4/3)πr³

where D is the diameter, which is twice the radius (r). So we can calculate the radius as:

r = D/2 = 9.2mm/2 = 4.6mm

Now we can substitute the value of r into the formula for the volume:

V = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)π(4.6mm)³ = 487.9mm³

Rounding this answer to the nearest tenth gives:

V ≈ 487.9mm³ ≈ 487.8mm³

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is approximately 487.8 cubic millimeters.
