Answer:

1.646×10¹¹ km³.

Explanation:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

Radius (r) = 3400 km

Volume (V) =.?

The shape of a planet is spherical in nature. Thus, we shall apply the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere to obtain the volume of Planet Mar as illustrated below:

Radius (r) = 3400 km

Pi (π) = 3.14

Volume (V) =.?

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³

V = 4/3 × 3.14 × (3400)³

V = 4/3 × 3.14 × 3.9304×10¹⁰

V = 1.646×10¹¹ km³

From the calculations made above, the volume of Planet Mar is 1.646×10¹¹ km³
