Answer:

Option A. 14.13 cu. in

The volume of the water balloon is 14.13 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the radius

r = 3in / 2

To calculate the volume of a sphere we have to use the following formula:

V = volume

r = radius Ā = 1.5in

Ļ€ = 3.14

V = ā“ā„ā‚ƒĻ€r³

we replace with the known values

V = ā“ā„ā‚ƒ * 3.14 * (1.5in)³

V = 4.187 * 3.375 in³

V = 14.13 in³

The volume of the water balloon is 14.13 in³
