The volume of the larger hemisphere with a radius of 20 inches is given by V1 = (2/3) * pi * (20)^3 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 8000 = 16,747 in.3
The volume of the smaller hemisphere with a radius of 15 inches is given by V2 = (2/3) * pi * (15)^3 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 3375 = 7065 in.3
Therefore, the volume of the sculpture is V1 - V2 = 16,747 - 7,065 = 9,682 in.3
So, the correct answer is 9,682 inches cubed.
