To find the volume \( V \) 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, we can calculate the volume as follows:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (1.8)^3 \]
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:
\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (5.832) \]
Next, calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 5.832 \):
\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 5.832 \approx 7.776 \]
Thus, the volume in terms of \( \pi \) is:
\[ V \approx 7.776 \pi \text{ yds}^3 \]
Rounding this to the nearest hundredth gives:
\[ V \approx 7.78 \pi \text{ yds}^3 \]
Therefore, the final answer is:
\[ \text{7.78} \pi \text{ yds}^3 \]
