Answer:

About 904.78 inches^3

Explanation:

A beach ball is a sphere. The volume of a sphere can be found using:

v=4/3 r^3 π

First, we have to find the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, or

r=d/2

We know the diameter is 12 inches, so we can substitute 12 in for d.

r=12/2

r=6

Now we know the radius, and can substitute it in for r.

v=4/3 r^3 π

v= 4/3 6^3 π

Evaluate the exponent

v=4/3 216 π

Multiply all the numbers together

v=904.778684234

So, the volume is about 904.78 inches^3
