Answer

Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter: \(\boxed{97478.1 \mathrm{~cm^3}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given diameter = 57.1 cm, find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2: \(r = \frac{57.1}{2} = 28.55 \mathrm{~cm}\)

Step 2 :Use the formula for the volume of a sphere: \(V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi * r^3\)

Step 3 :Plug in the radius: \(V = \frac{4}{3} * \pi * (28.55)^3\)

Step 4 :Calculate the volume: \(V \approx 97478.07565345647 \mathrm{~cm^3}\)

Step 5 :Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter: \(\boxed{97478.1 \mathrm{~cm^3}}\)
