To find the volume of a sphere, you can use the formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius \( r \) is 1.8 yards, you can plug it into the formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.8)^3 \]

First, calculate \( (1.8)^3 \):

\[ 1.8^3 = 1.8 \times 1.8 \times 1.8 = 5.832 \]

Now substitute this value back into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (5.832) \]

Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} \times 5.832 \):

\[ \frac{4 \times 5.832}{3} = \frac{23.328}{3} = 7.776 \]

Now, substituting back into the volume equation gives:

\[ V = 7.776 \pi \text{ yds}^3 \]

Rounding this to the nearest hundredth, we have:

\[ 7.78 \pi \text{ yds}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the sphere is:

7.78π yds³
