The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. What is the distance between the ball and the rim in a shot in which the ball goes exactly in the center of the rim? Show your work.

Question

Create a minimalistic and clear educational image showing the process of calculation. The image should show a basketball rim with an 18-inch diameter and a basketball with a 30-inch circumference, both drawn to scale. Centrally, visualize a basketball shot with the ball going exactly in the center of the rim. Beside it, give a step-by-step visualization of the calculation: finding the circumference of the rim, subtracting the circumference of the basketball, and arriving at the distance between the ball and the rim. The visual presentation of math operations is essential. Make sure to ensure accuracy and clarity in demonstrating the process and solution.

The diameter of a basketball rim is 18 inches. A standard basketball has a circumference of 30 inches. What is the distance between the ball and the rim in a shot in which the ball goes exactly in the center of the rim? Show your work.

First I must find the circumference of the rim
C=pied
C=56.5
Next I subtracted both circumferences from each other
56.5-30
This gave me 26.5
So the distance from the ball to the rim would be 26.5in.

Am I correct

Answer 1

26.52 inches

C=d*pi
C=18*pi
C=56.52
Difference = Rim C - Basketball C
56.52=30=26.52

Answer 2

Wait, so can you explain how to do this please?

Answer 3

This question is asking the distance between the ball and the rim, if the ball is perfectly in the center. The diameter of the rim is 18 in and they give a circumference for the ball. The circumference of the ball is 30 inches. 30/pi is about 9.54. The diameter of the ball is 9.54 inches. That leaves 8.46 inches of room. However, the ball is perfectly in the center, so the distance between the ball and the rim is half of that. 4.23 inches. If you calculate by the tenth, 9.5 inches, 8.5 inches, the answer is slightly different, at 4.25 inches.

Thank you

Answer 10

you did it backwards

find the diameter of the ball

then you can find the clearance between them
