Mary wants to fill in a cylinder vase. At the flower store they told her that the vase should be filled for the flowers to last the longest. Her cylinder vase has a radius of 3 in and a height of 8 in. Using the equation below, how much water should Mary pour into the vase?

The volume of a cylinder with height h and radius r is given by the formula:
V=πr2h

Answer:

72π

Explanation:

To solve this, we just have to find the volume of the cylinder.

We know the formula for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr^2h as given.

That said, we can plug our values in.

V=π3^2(8)

Simplify.

V=π9*8

V=72π

It needs 72π cubic inches of water.

This is also equivalent to around 226.19 cubic inches of water.
