Question

Purchased a vase and flowers at her local flower shop. At home, she wants to fill the cylindrical vase and at the

store, they told her that the vase should be filled 2/3 full for the flowers to last longest. Her vase has a diameter of 2
inches and the height is 9 inches. How much water (in cubic inches) should Tessa pour into the vase with her
flowers? Show all of your calculations in your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that

Radius = Diameter/2

=> Radius = 2/2

=> Radius = 1 in

Now,

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

=> π × (1)² × 9

=> 9π in³

Since it is filled ⅔ of the volume

So,

Water to be putted = ⅔ × 9π = 6π in³
