Answer:

339n in^3

Explanation:

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

Water in the cylinder = volume of cylinder - volume of sphere

volume of a cylinder = nr^2h

n = 22/7

r = radius = 10/2 = 5

n x (5^2) x 15 = 375 in^3

volume of a sphere = (4/3) x (n) x (r^3)

n = 22/7

r = 6/2 = 3

(4/3) x (n) x (r^3) = 36n
