The volume of air needed is equal to the volume of the sphere, which is 7,234.56 cm^3.
How to get the volume of a sphere?
The volume of air that we need is equal to the volume of the basketball.
Remember that for a sphere of radius R, the volume is:
V = (4/3)*3.14*R^3
In this case, the radius is 12cm, replacing that we get:
V = (4/3)*3.14*(12cm)^3 = 7,234.56 cm^3
Then, to fully inflate the ball, we need 7,234.56 cm^3 of air.
