If the sphere shown above has a radius of 12 units, then what is the approximate volume of the sphere?

The volume of a sphere refers to the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a sphere. The volume of a sphere can be found or calculate by using the formula V=4/3πr^3, where r represents the radius of the figure.

In this exercise is given the radius of the sphere and it is asked to find it's volume. The first step to find the volume of the sphere will be the substitution of the values into the previous mention formula.

V=4/3πr^3
V=4/3π(12)^3
V=4/3π(1728)
V=2304π units^3 or 7238.23 cubic units

The volume of the sphere is 2304π units^3 or 7238.23 cubic units.
