PLEASE HELP WITH MATH, REALLY EASY! I just dont get it.?

If a sphere has a radius of 13 units, then what is the approximate volume of the sphere?

A. 2,929.33 cubic units

B. 732.33 cubic units

C. 225.33 cubic units

D. 676 cubic units

Update:

I know there wrong but it's what the computer says! I need an educated guess!

Update 2:

The answer is A. 2,929.33 cubic units

    a sphere has a radius of 13 units

    Volume of sphere is 4/3 π r³

    V = 4/3 π 13³

    = 9,202 cubic units

    NOT one of their answers.

    Let's try to figure out where they went wrong...

    If 13 were diameter, V = 2300un³

    even that is not an answer!!!

    Let's try surface area: 4πr²

    SA = 2,123 un² Nope not that either!!

    They really screwed up on the answers. Not the first time I've seen this!

    For each, let's find Radius:

    A. 2,929.33 cubic units; 8.9

    B. 732.33 cubic units; 5.6

    C. 225.33 cubic units; 3.8

    D. 676 cubic units; 5.4

    I really have NO idea where they went wrong!

    V=(4pr^3)/3 That should be a familiar formula....

    V~2929.33p u^3 you left out the pi from the list of answers...

    V~9202.77 u^3 (with pi taken into account)

    V≈9202.77

    All of the answers are wrong.
