Answer:

V=14.12 in³

Explanation:

This is a tough one. To find the volume, you'll need the followimg equation:


(4)/(3) \pi {r}^(3)

The 3 next to the R is an exponent. An exponent involves multiplying the radius by itself. So it would look like this: 1.5×1.5×1.5

Next, you must multiply the result by 3.14. So it would be 3.375×3.14. And finally, you must multiply that result by 4 and divide by 3. So 10.59×4 to get 42.36 then divide that by 3. 42.36 divided by 3 is 14.2. (Answer can vary from time to time and you may need to round up)
