The radius of the cylindrical vase is given to be 4 inches. Let us call it
r. Thus,
r=4

Likewise, the height of the cylinder is given to be 10 inches. Thus,
h=10.

Now, we know that the volume of any cylinder is given by:


Volume=\pi r^(2)h

Mary has been told that the vase should be filled 3/4.

Thus, 3/4th of the volume of the cylindrical vase will be:


Volume_{(3)/(4)} =(3)/(4)\pi r^2 h

which in our case will become:


Volume_{(3)/(4)} =(3)/(4)\pi (4)^2 * 10\approx377

Thus, the required volume of water to be filled is 377
