To find the volume of Kairay's sculpture, we first calculate the volume of the larger hemisphere with a radius of 20 inches and then subtract the volume of the smaller hemisphere with a radius of 15 inches.
The formula for the volume \( V \) of a hemisphere with radius \( r \) is given by:
\[ V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \]
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the larger hemisphere (radius = 20 inches)
Using \( r = 20 \) inches:
\[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (20)^3 \]
Calculating \( (20)^3 \):
\[ (20)^3 = 8000 \]
Now substituting back into the volume formula:
\[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8000 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 8000 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 8000 = 25120 \]
Now multiply by \( \frac{2}{3} \):
\[ V_{\text{large}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 25120 \approx 16746.67 \text{ in}^3 \]
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the smaller hemisphere (radius = 15 inches)
Using \( r = 15 \) inches:
\[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (15)^3 \]
Calculating \( (15)^3 \):
\[ (15)^3 = 3375 \]
Substituting back into the volume formula:
\[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 3375 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 3375 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 3375 = 10643.75 \]
Now multiply by \( \frac{2}{3} \):
\[ V_{\text{small}} = \frac{2}{3} \times 10643.75 \approx 7095.83 \text{ in}^3 \]
Step 3: Find the volume of the sculpture
Now, we subtract the volume of the smaller hemisphere from the volume of the larger hemisphere:
\[ V_{\text{sculpture}} = V_{\text{large}} - V_{\text{small}} \approx 16746.67 - 7095.83 \approx 9649.84 \text{ in}^3 \]
Rounding to the nearest whole number
Rounding \( 9649.84 \) gives us \( 9650 \text{ in}^3 \), which is not one of the options. Re-evaluating some calculation errors:
