Question

Mary wants to fill in a cylinder vase. At the flower store they told her that the vase should be filled 3/4 for the flowers to

last the longest. Her cylinder vase has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 10 inches. How much water should Mary pour
into the vase?

Answer 1

About 376.99 cubic inches

Explanation:

Cylinder has a volume of:

`V=\pi r^2h`

Where

V is the volume

r is the radius

h is the height

We need to find the volume of the cylinder, then multiply that answer by 3/4 to get the solution to this problem. First, the full volume of the cylinder.

Given

r = 4

h = 10

So,

`V=\pi r^2h\\V=\pi (4)^2 (10)\\V=502.65`

Now, we multiply by 3/4:

`502.65*(3)/(4)=376.99`

Mary should be vase to 376.99 cubic inches
