To first find the volume of the sphere, you need to first find the radius. To find this, you take the circumference of 29.5 inches and divide by pi to get the diameter.
C=π×D
29.53.14=1475157=9.3949044585987261
Then divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.
(29.53.14)2=1475314=4.6974522292993631
So we get a radius of about 4.70.
Then we use the formula for the volume of a sphere which is
V=43×π×r3
Substituting in R for 4.69........, we get
43×3.14×(1475314)3=433.96579644880793
Rounded to the nearest inch, we get 434 inches cubed.
