Check out the explanation.

The formula for the volume of a sphere is #V=4/3pir^3#

The diameter of the sphere is #12 cm# and the radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be #6 cm#.

We're going to use #3.14# for #pi# or pi. So we now have:

#V=4/3*3.14*6^3#

#6^3# or #6# cubed is #216#. And #4/3# is about #1.33#.

#V=1.33*3.14*216#

Multiply them all together and you get #~~902.06#. You can always use more precise numbers!
