Answer:

Volume: Option A - Around 85.33 (in^3)

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the problem. Here we are given the circumference of the bowling ball, provided it is in the shape of a sphere.

Our first step can be to note the formula of circumference, applicable to both a sphere and a circle:

C = 2 * π * r - Where r = radius

Now let us substitute the known value of the circumference as to solve for r, or the radius:

(8π) = 2πr

r = 8π/2π

r = 4

Now take a look at the spherical formula for volume of a sphere:

V = 4/3 * π * r^3 - Where r is yet again the radius

Let us substitute the known value of the radius as to solve for the volume, or in other words to solve for the answer:

V = 4/3 * π * (4)^3

V = 4/3 * π * 64

V = 256/3 * π

V = (Around) 85.33π (in)^3

*Don't forget the units
