7 The diagram shows a square-based pyramid and a sphere.

A square-based pyramid with base edges 12.3 cm and 12.3 cm and perpendicular height 15.7 cm, and a sphere with radius r cm

The pyramid has base length 12.3 cm and perpendicular height 15.7 cm.
The sphere has radius \(r\) cm.

The pyramid and the sphere have the same volume.

Work out the radius of the sphere.
You must show your working.

[The volume of a pyramid is \(\frac{1}{3}\) × area of base × perpendicular height.
The volume \(V\) of a sphere with radius \(r\) is \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\).] [5]
