The volume of a cylinder can be found using the formula:

π r² h,

where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cylinder.

If we plug in the measurements of the cylinder, we get:

π (6²) (28)

When this is simplified, we get that the volume of the cylinder is:

1008π cubic cm

Thus, if each marble has a volume of 36π cubic cm, then to find how many marbles will fit into the vase we must divide the vases total volume by the volume of each marble.

1008π / 36π = 28

Therefore, the answer is D. 28 marbles
