    To find the volume of the box you will use the volume of the sphere formula to find the radius of the circular region of the sphere. You wil then double the radius to find the diameter.

    V = 4/3 x pi x r^3

    972 x pi = 4/3 x pi x r^3

    729 = r^3

    The cubic root of 729 is 9 because 9 x 9 x 9 = 729.

    The radius is 9 inches, and the diameter is 18 inches.

    The volume of the box is 18 in x 18 in x 18 in or 5832 in.³.
