Find the volume of a sphere with a radius of 3 m. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. The volume is m3.

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 radius \( r = 3 \) m and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can substitute the values into the formula:

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

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

\[ (3)^3 = 27 \]

Now, substitute this back into the volume formula:

\[ V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 27 \]

Next, calculate \( \frac{4}{3} \times 27 \):

\[ \frac{4}{3} \times 27 = 36 \]

Now, multiply this result by \( 3.14 \):

\[ V = 36 \times 3.14 = 113.04 \]

Thus, the volume of the sphere is:

\[ \boxed{113.04 , \text{m}^3} \]
