Answer

Radius of the sphere is $\approx2.88ft$

Work Step by Step

According to the problem, one gallon holds about $0.1337ft^3$, so volume of the sphere which holds $750$ gallons will be: $750\times0.1337 = 100.275ft^3$ In general we know formula of Volume of a sphere ($V$) : $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ $100.275 = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ $\pi r^3 = 75.2625$ $r^3\approx23.9388$ $r\approx2.88foot$
