The surface area of an sphere is given by the expression


A=4\pi r^2

Since wer know the surface area, we can solve this expression for the radius, calculate it and then use it in the formula for volume given, as following:


\begin{gathered} A=4\pi r^2\rightarrow(A)/(4\pi)=r^2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow r=\sqrt[]{(A)/(4\pi)} \end{gathered}
\rightarrow r=\sqrt[]{(484\pi)/(4\pi)}\rightarrow r=11
\begin{gathered} V=(4)/(3)\pi r^3 \\ \\ \rightarrow V=(4)/(3)\pi(11)^3 \\ \\ \Rightarrow V=1774.7\pi\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option 2
