The difference in circumference between the goal and the center cross-section of a basketball is 26.4inches.

It is given that

Diameter of a basketball goal = 18inches

So, the radius will be 18/2 = 9inches

It is the length of the outer periphery of a circle equals 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Circumference of goal = 2π9 = 56.57inches

Diameter of basketball = 9.6inches

So, the radius of basketball will be 9.6/2 = 4.8 inches

Circumference of cross-section of basketball = 2π4.8 = 30.17inches

So, the difference in circumference between the goal and the center cross-section of a basketball = 56.57-30.17 = 26.4inches.

Therefore, difference in circumference between the goal and the center cross-section of a basketball is 26.4inches.
