A kickball is a sphere, so to solve this, we are going to use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
$V= (1)/(6) \pi d^3$
where

is the volume of the sphere.

is the diameter of the sphere.

We know form our problem that the diameter of the kickball is 10 inches; since the kickball is a sphere,
d=10in

. Lets replace that value in our formula to find

:

$V= (1)/(6) \pi d^3$

$V= (1)/(6) \pi (10in)^3$

V=523.6in^3

We can conclude that the volume of the kickball is 523.6 cubic inches.
