Answer:

113 km³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Radius of the meteor (r): 3 km

Step 2: Calculate the volume (V) of the meteor

The meteor is spherical. Given the radius (r), we can calculate the volume of a sphere using the following expression.

V = 4/3 × π × r³

V = 4/3 × π × (3 km)³

V = 4/3 × π × 27 km³

V = 113 km³

The volume of the meteor is 113 km³.
