I never, ever use 3.14 for pie. I use apples, berries, custard, pumpkin, or one of a myriad of other ingredients along with a nice light flaky crust for pie. I use 3.14 for pi, that is to say 
, on occasion.
The volume of a sphere is given by:
Where 
is the radius of the sphere and is equal to one-half of the diameter.
Half of the volume of a sphere would then be:
So, you need to calculate:
\left(5\right)^3)
I'll let you handle the arithmetic. Don't forget to express your answer in cubic feet. I think I'll go have a nice piece of pie.
