#V = 4187 in^3#

Explanation:

This is a basic solid volume problem. Using the formula for the volume of a sphere we calculate the volume from the given dimensions.

Because the diameter dimension only has two significant digits, the use of 3.14 for pi is more than sufficient for final accuracy. The radius of a circle is ½ of the diameter, so our sphere radius is 10 in.

#V = (4/3)*pi*r^3#
#V = (4/3)*pi*r(10)^3# ; #V = (4/3)*pi*1000# ; #V = 4187 "in" ^3#
