The distance between the ball in the room is

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for a circumference the radius is equal to half the diameter.

The diameter of the basketball hoop is 18 inches.

Then the radius of the hoop is:

If, the circumference of the ball is 30 inches then the circumference C is:

And the radius of the ball is:

So the distance between the ball and the ring will be equal to the difference of both radius.
