Answer:

1135.2 in³

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula ...

V = (4/3)πr^3

The difference in volume will be ...

∆V = Vb -Vs = (4/3)π(10^3 -9^3) = (4/3)π(1000 -729) = 4/3π·271 . . . cubic in

∆V ≈ 1135.2 . . . cubic inches

The basketball has a volume that is 1135.2 cubic inches greater.

_____

If you use 3.14 for π, your answer is 1134.6 in^3.
