Kairay created a sculpture by forming a hemisphere with a radius of 20 inches and then removing a hemisphere with a radius of 15 inches from it. Calculate the volume of his sculpture. Use 3.14 as an approximation for pi. Please round your answer to the nearest whole number.

First, we need to calculate the volume of the original hemisphere. The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is V = (2/3)πr^3.

Plugging in the radius of 20 inches, we get:
V1 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 20^3
V1 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 8000
V1 = 0.66667 * 25120
V1 = 16746.72

Now, we need to calculate the volume of the removed hemisphere. The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is the same, V = (2/3)πr^3.

Plugging in the radius of 15 inches, we get:
V2 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 15^3
V2 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 3375
V2 = 0.66667 * 10642.5
V2 = 7095

To find the volume of the sculpture, we subtract V2 from V1:
V = V1 - V2
V = 16746.72 - 7095
V = 9651.72

We round this to the nearest whole number:
V≈ 9652

Therefore, the volume of his sculpture is approximately 9652 cubic inches.

I apologize for the error. Let's recalculate the volume of the sculpture.

The volume of the larger hemisphere (original sculpture) is:
V1 = (2/3) * π * 20^3
V1 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 8000
V1 = 16747.2 cubic inches

The volume of the smaller hemisphere (removed part) is:
V2 = (2/3) * π * 15^3
V2 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 3375
V2 = 7068.6 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the sculpture is:
V = V1 - V2
V = 16747.2 - 7068.6
V = 9678.6 cubic inches

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of Kairay's sculpture is approximately 9679 cubic inches.

I apologize for the oversight. Let's recalculate the volume of the sculpture.

The volume of the larger hemisphere (original sculpture) with a radius of 20 inches is calculated as:

V1 = (2/3) * π * 20^3
V1 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 8000
V1 = 16755.47 cubic inches

The volume of the smaller hemisphere (removed part) with a radius of 15 inches is calculated as:

V2 = (2/3) * π * 15^3
V2 = (2/3) * 3.14 * 3375
V2 = 7069.8 cubic inches

The volume of the final sculpture after removing the smaller hemisphere from the larger one is:

V = V1 - V2
V = 16755.47 - 7069.8
V = 9685.67 cubic inches

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume of Kairay's sculpture is approximately 9686 cubic inches.
