Answer 1

C. 905 in³

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, sphere

We know that the volume of a sphere is expresses as

V= 4/3πr³

Given that the diameter of the sphere is 12inches

Radius r= 12/2= 6 inches

Substituting our radius we can solve for the volume

V=4/3(3.142*6³)

V= (4*3.142*216)/3

V= 2714.68/3

V= 904.9in³

Approximately V= 905in³
