Answer:

Option D. [tex]904.32\ in^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the sphere (a baseball-shaped piñata ) is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}[/tex]

we have

[tex]r=12/2=6\ in[/tex] -----> the radius is half the diameter

[tex]\pi=3.14[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}(3.14)(6)^{3}=904.32\ in^{3}[/tex]
