We are asked to determine the volume of a sphere. To do that we will use the following formula:
![V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/zraet4fw93vx9gjz3iextthjo546ibcpwc.png)
Where "r" is the radius.
We are given that the diameter is 8cm. We have that:
![r=(D)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/lhmk5xapcy29peg94dm5wqxlkcly19oyug.png)
Where "D" is the diameter. This means that the radius is half the diameter. Substituting we get:
![r=\frac{8\operatorname{cm}}{2}=4\operatorname{cm}]()
Now we substitute in the formula for the volume:
![V=(4)/(3)\pi(4\operatorname{cm})^3]()
we will use:
![\pi=3](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/6yk0c9d9s8pmvratnf9gh3j558a59rj6zi.png)
Substituting we get:
![V=(4)/(3)(3)(4\operatorname{cm})^3]()
Now we solve the operations:-
![V=4(4\operatorname{cm})^3=256\operatorname{cm}^3]()
Therefore, the volume of the sphere is 256 cubic centimeters.
