To calculate the volume of a sphere, you can use the formula:
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3
\]
Given that the radius \( r \) is 5 feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
1. Calculate \( r^3 \):
\[
r^3 = 5^3 = 125
\]
2. Plug \( r^3 \) into the volume formula:
\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 125
\]
3. Calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \):
\[
\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \approx 4.1867
\]
4. Now multiply it by 125:
\[
V \approx 4.1867 \times 125 \approx 523.3375
\]
Rounding to the nearest tenth gives us:
\[
V \approx 523.3
\]
Thus, the volume of the sphere is **523.3 ft.³**.
