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

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

where \( V \) is the volume and \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the diameter of the circle is 5 feet, the radius would be:

\[ r = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \text{ feet} \]

Now plug in the radius and π (using 3.14) into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2.5)^3 \]

First, calculate \( (2.5)^3 \):

\[ (2.5)^3 = 2.5 \times 2.5 \times 2.5 = 15.625 \]

Now, substitute this back into the volume equation:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 15.625 \]

Next, calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \):

\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \approx 4.1867 \]

Now, multiply this by 15.625:

\[ V \approx 4.1867 \times 15.625 \approx 65.5 \]

Hence, the approximate volume of the sphere is:

\[ V \approx 65.5 \text{ ft}^3 \]

This means none of the provided options match the calculated volume. Would you like me to double-check the answers or calculations?
