Answer: You are correct, it is the second option.
Explanation:
Volume of a cylinder formula is: pi*r^2*h. The diameter is 6 and the radius is half the diameter so we get r=3. The height is 10 inches, so h=10. pi(3)^2(10) is the volume of the vase.
Volume of a sphere (marbles) formula is: 4/3*pi*r^3
The marbles have a diameter of 3 so 3/2=1.5. r=1.5.
The volume of the marbles is 8(4/3*pi*1.5^3).
Then you subtract the volume of the marbles from the volume of the vase to find the volume of the water in the vase.
pi(3)^2(10) - 8(4/3pi(1.5)^3)
Hope this helps. :)
