Answer:

It can hold 904.78 in³ of air

Explanation:

radius = 12/2 = 6

To calculate the volume of a sphere we have to use the following formula:

V = volume

r = radius = 6in

π = 3.14 16

V = ⁴⁄₃πr³

we replace the known values

V = ⁴⁄₃ * 3.14 * (6in)³

V = 4.1888 * 216 in³

V = 904.7808 in³

round to the nearest hundredth

V = 904.78 in³

The volume of the sphere is 904.78 in³
