Question 165334: Find the volume of a sphere that has a diameter of 9 meteres.
Answers are multiple choice:
a. 243 m^3
b. 486m^3
c. 121.5m^3
d. 972 m^3

So far I have
V=4/3*pi*r^3
V=4/3*pi*(d/2)^3
V=4/3*pi*(9/2)^3
V=4/3*pi*(4.5)^3
v=4/3*pi*(91.125)
this is where I get lost because I do not get any of the answers listed

There is nothing wrong with your work!
I suspect that the answers given are all in terms of
If you work out your answer, but leave it in terms of , then you would get:

cubic meters, and you can see that answer c is shown as 121.5 cubic meters, so check the answers given to see if has been omitted.
