help!!!!how do i figure the volume of a sphere with a radius of 3 meters. i need to show the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[V = (4/3)\pi(r^3)\] plug in radius (r) = 3 to get \[(4/3)\pi(27)\] which equals \[36\pi\] \[m^3\]

OpenStudy (patriciab):

stil not getting it..... how did you get 36π

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius is 3. 3^3 is 27. (4/3) of 27 is 36. 36pi

OpenStudy (patriciab):

ok now i get it you take 4/3 of whatever the radius is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You take 4/3 of whatever the radius CUBED is. In order of operations, remember to do exponents before multiplying

sorry that's what i meant(radius cubed) thank you so much for your help. algebra has never been my strong subject. thanks again
