A spherical ball with a radius of 4 inches has a hallow center of radius 3 inches what is the volume of the shell?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you need to do is find the volume of the ball with 4 inches as you radius and then find the volume of the hole with 3 inches as your radius, then subtract the volume of the hole from the volume of the ball. Volume of sphere= |dw:1338861937172:dw|

can you please explain it in detail

Ok i'll draw this |dw:1338862131636:dw| So we have two circles as you can see. Drawing diagrams always helps. The larger circle has a radius of 4inches while the smaller one has a radius of 3 inches. What we are looking for is the volume of the space between the large circle and the smaller circle. So we do \[(4/3(\Pi \times (4)^{3})) - (4/3(\Pi \times (3)^{3})\] Does that help?
