Answer

$V=36\pi \approx 113.10 \text{ cubic feet}$ $\text{surface area} = 36\pi \approx 113.10 \text{ square feet}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) The surface area of a sphere with radius $r$ is given by the formula: $\text{surface area} = 4\pi{r^2}$ (2) The volume $V$ of a sphere with radius $r$ is given by the formula: $V = \dfrac{4}{3}\pi{r^3}$ Use the formulas above and the given radius of 3 feet to obtain: $V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi{r^3} \\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(3^3) \\V=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi(27) \\V=36\pi \approx 113.10 \text{ cubic feet}$ $\text{surface area} = 4\pi{r^2} \\\text{surface area} = 4\pi(3^2) \\\text{surface area} = 4\pi(9) \\\text{surface area} = 36\pi \approx 113.10 \text{ square feet}$
