To find the radius of a sphere given its volume, we can use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

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

where \( V \) is the volume and \( r \) is the radius. We can rearrange this formula to solve for \( r \):

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

Now, substituting the volume \( V = 3675 \, m^3 \):

\[
r^3 = \frac{3 \times 3675}{4\pi}
\]

Now we calculate \( r^3 \):

1. Calculate \( 3 \times 3675 = 11025 \).
2. Now, find \( 4\pi \). Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[
4\pi \approx 4 \times 3.14159 \approx 12.56636
\]

3. Divide \( 11025 \) by \( 12.56636 \):

\[
r^3 \approx \frac{11025}{12.56636} \approx 879.027
\]

Now we take the cube root to find \( r \):

\[
r \approx \sqrt[3]{879.027} \approx 9.54
\]

Finally, rounding the radius to the nearest tenth of a meter:

\[
r \approx 9.5 \, m
\]

Thus, the radius of the sphere, to the nearest tenth of a meter, is **9.5 m**.
