![### 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**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F91652952-972c-437d-817e-6a9e046f1c10%2F7cb1e0cf-6772-4269-bf84-8d76e13df216%2F7bkc5j4_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
