The formula for the volume of a sphere (ball) of radius r is:

If r = 10.5, then the volume, V, is, using as an approximation:

cubic units. This is the volume of the volley ball.
Answer by gonzo(654) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
v = 4/3 * pi * r^3
pi = constant of 3.141592654 (from calculator)
r = radius
if radius = 10.5 inches then volume of the volleyball would be ...
4/3 * pi * (10.5)^3
= 4/3 * pi * 1157.625 cubic inches
= 4/3 * 3.141592654 * 1157.625 cubic inches
= 4849.048261 cubic inches.
= 4849 cubic inches rounded to nearest integer.
