Answer:

Solution given;

for sphere

radius [r]:12inches

another

radius [R]:9inches

Now

difference in volume of sphere:

volume of sphere of having radius [r-R]

=
(4)/(3) πr³-
(4)/(3) πR³

=
(4)/(3) π(12³-9³)

= 1332π cubic inches

The volume of the larger sphere is ___1332__π cubic inches greater than the volume of the smaller sphere.
