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

Likewise, the height of the cylinder is given to be 10 inches. Thus,
.
Now, we know that the volume of any cylinder is given by:

Mary has been told that the vase should be filled 3/4.
Thus, 3/4th of the volume of the cylindrical vase will be:

which in our case will become:
Thus, the required volume of water to be filled is 377
