Given:

Length of the side of the square = 2.8 cm

Concept used:

Length of cube = Diameter of sphere

The volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

Calculation:

spere.drawio

Diameter of sphere = 2.8 cm 

Radius of sphere = 1.4 cm 

The volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)

\(\frac{4}{3} \pi \) x (1.4)3

~ 11.49 = 11.50 cm3

Hence, the correct answer is '11.50 cm3'.
