Question

A spherical boulder is 28 feet in diameter and weighs almost 8 tons. Find the volume Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

V = (4/3) × 3.14 × 14³ = 11,310.08 cubic feet

Answer 2

Answer: 11,488.2133 cubic feet approximately

Work Shown:

d = diameter = 28

r = radius = d/2 = 28/2 = 14

V = volume of a sphere

V = (4/3)*pi*r^3

V = (4/3)*3.14*(14)^3

V = 11,488.2133 cubic feet approximately

The info "weighs almost 8 tons" is never used. It is likely an intended distraction. All we need is the radius of the sphere to get its volume.
