Final Answer: \(\boxed{12 \mathrm{~cm}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :We are given the volume of the sphere and need to find the radius using the given formula. We can plug in the given volume into the formula and solve for the radius.

Step 2 :volume = 2304 \(\pi\) cm^3

Step 3 :radius = \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{3 V}{4 \pi}}\)

Step 4 :radius = \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{3 \times 2304 \pi}{4 \pi}}\)

Step 5 :radius = \(\sqrt[3]{\frac{6912 \pi}{4 \pi}}\)

Step 6 :radius = \(\sqrt[3]{1728}\)

Step 7 :radius = 12 cm

Step 8 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{12 \mathrm{~cm}}\)
