Final answer:

The volume of water the cone-shaped flower vase can hold, using the formula V = (1/3)πr^2h with 3.14 for π, a radius of 5 inches, and a height of 15 inches, is 392.5 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of water that a cone-shaped flower vase can hold, you use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is
V = (1)/(3)\pi r^2 h . The given dimensions are a radius (r) of 5 inches and a height (h) of 15 inches. Using the value of 3.14 for
\pi , the volume can be calculated as follows:


V = (1)/(3) * 3.14 * (5 \text{ inches})^2 * 15 \text{ inches}


V = (1)/(3) * 3.14 * 25 \text{ inches}^2 * 15 \text{ inches} = (1)/(3) * 3.14 * 375 \text{ inches}^3 = 392.5 \text{ inches}^3

Therefore, the flower vase can hold 392.5 cubic inches of water.

Answer: 392.5 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is:
(1)/(3)\pi r^2h


\pi =3.14


r=radius


h=height

In your case:


r=5


h=15

If we substitute these values, we will get:


(1)/(3) *3.14*(5^2)*15

If we calculate this, we will get 392.5 cubic inches.
