Final answer:
An empty glass contains no water, but its volume can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder to determine how much it could potentially hold.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the student is asking how much water is in an empty glass that is 10 centimeters high and has a diameter of 5 centimeters, the answer would be that there is no water in an empty glass. However, if the goal is to determine the potential volume of water the glass could hold, we can calculate it using the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr2h. Given the diameter of the glass is 5 centimeters, the radius would be 2.5 centimeters. Applying the formula, we get V = π * (2.5 cm)2 * 10 cm which can be simplified and calculated to find the volume in cubic centimeters, which can be then converted to milliliters since 1 cm3 is equivalent to 1 mL.
