Help me with this pls :')

Mary wants to fill in a cylinder vase. At the flower store they told her that the vase should be filled 2/3 for the flowers to last the longest. Her cylinder vase has a radius of 3 in and a height of 8 in. Using the equation below, how much water should Mary pour into the vase?
The volume of a cylinder with height h and radius r is given by the formula:
V = πr²h

Answer:

We know the formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr^2has given.

That said, we can plug our values in.

V=π3^2(8)

Simplify.

V=π9*8

V=72π

It needs 72π cubic inches of water.

This is also equivalent to around 226.19 cubic inches of water.

  • Volume of a Cylinder: V = πr²h

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Radius r = 3 in

Height h = 8 in

Step 2: Find Volume V

  1. Substitute [VC]: V = π(3 in)²(8 in)
  2. Exponents: V = π(9 in²)(8 in)
  3. Multiply: V = 72π in³
  4. Multiply: V = 226.195 in³

Step 3: Find Water

2/3 of vase should be filled with H₂O.

  1. Set up: 2/3(72π in³)
  2. Multiply: 48π in³
  3. Evaluate: 150.796 in³
