It doesn't really have one, since there is no outer edge. If you look out 13.6 billion light years, you will see light from the Big Bang, and farther than that you can't really see, but if you were to try to travel that far, by the time you got there the end would have retreated another 13.6 billion light years. But you can use 13.6 billion light years as a radius to calculate the volume of space that we can see, using the usual formula for the volume of a sphere.

The "known" or viewable diameter of the universe is between 10 and 156 light years across.

"That this distance is deemed almost inconsequential compared with the most distant objects known in the universe, which are roughly 10 billion light years away."
"Latest estimates by astronomers tell us that the universe is 30 or 40 billion light years in diameter. In layman's terms, that means that it would take light (which travels at the speed of light J) 40 000 000 000 years to cross from one side of the universe to the other!"

While they are still discovering new galaxys from the huddle telescope we will never know, there are billions of galaxy`s out there still to be found, the human brain cant comprehend the number involved.
