### Calculating the Volume of a Sphere with Given Radius

#### Problem Statement:
What is the volume of a sphere whose radius is 14.86?

#### Given:
- Radius (\(r\)): 14.86
- Use \(\pi = 3.14\) as needed.
- Round to two decimal places as needed.

#### Solution:
To find the volume of a sphere, we use the formula:

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

1. Substitute the given radius and value of \(\pi\) into the formula:
   \[
   V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (14.86)^3
   \]

2. Calculate the cube of the radius:
   \[
   (14.86)^3 \approx 3281.91
   \]

3. Multiply by \(\pi\):
   \[
   3.14 \times 3281.91 \approx 10366.20
   \]

4. Multiply by \(\frac{4}{3}\):
   \[
   V = \frac{4}{3} \times 10366.20 \approx 13821.60
   \]

5. Round the result to two decimal places:
   \[
   V \approx 13821.60 \, \text{cubic units}
   \]

Therefore, the volume of the sphere is approximately **13821.60 cubic units**.
