An average sized golf ball has a volume of about 40.3 cubic centimeters. Mini-Putt wants to make custom golf balls that are made from hard foam to minimize injuries. However, they will be slightly larger in diameter to make them easier to hit. The proposed new golf balls will have a diameter of 4.75 centimeters. How much foam (volume) will be needed to make one of these new golf balls?
