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

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

where \( V \) is the volume, \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14, and \( r \) is the radius of the sphere.

Given that the radius \( r = 2 \) cm, we can substitute it into the formula:

\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times (2)^3
\]

Calculating \( (2)^3 \):

\[
(2)^3 = 8
\]

Now substituting this back into the formula:

\[
V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8
\]

Calculating \( \frac{4}{3} \times 8 \):

\[
\frac{4}{3} \times 8 = \frac{32}{3} \approx 10.67
\]

Now multiply by \( 3.14 \):

\[
V \approx 10.67 \times 3.14 \approx 33.4788
\]

Rounding to the nearest tenth:

\[
V \approx 33.5 \text{ cm}^3
\]

Thus, the volume of the sphere is **33.5 cm³**.
