The correct answer is 2.1 ft.
To find the radius, we need to use the formula for the volume of a sphere:
V = (4/3)πr^3
We know that the volume is 38.7 cubic feet, so:
38.7 = (4/3)πr^3
Dividing both sides by (4/3)π:
r^3 = 38.7 / (4/3)π = 9.75
Taking the cube root:
r = 2.1 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
