The volume \( V \) of a sphere with radius \( r \) is given by the formula:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \]
Given that the radius \( r \) of the sphere is 1.8 yards, we can substitute this value into the formula:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (1.8)^3 \]
First, we calculate \( (1.8)^3 \):
\[ (1.8)^3 = 1.8 \times 1.8 \times 1.8 = 5.832 \]
Now we plug this value back into the volume formula:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \times 5.832 \]
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 5.832 \]
\[ V = \frac{4 \times 5.832}{3} \pi \]
\[ V = \frac{23.328}{3} \pi \]
\[ V = 7.776 \pi \]
Rounded to the nearest hundredth:
\[ V \approx 7.78 \pi \]
So the volume of the sphere is approximately 7.78 pi cubic yards.
