Answer:

3,451 cm³

Explanation:

The ball is a sphere.

Formula for finding the volume of a sphere = ⁴/3*πr³

Volume of the 3 balls = 3(⁴/3*πr³)

Where,

radius (r) = ½ of diameter = ½(13) = 6.5 cm

Plug in the values into the formula:

Volume of the 3 balls = 3(⁴/3*π*6.5³)

= 4*π*274.625

= 3,451.03953 ≈ 3,451 cm³
