To calculate the volume of a glass (which we can assume has a cylindrical shape), we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, and \( h \) is the height.

Given:

  • Height \( h = 10 \) cm
  • Width (diameter) = 8 cm, so the radius \( r = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \) cm

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[ V = \pi (4^2)(10) = \pi (16)(10) = 160\pi \]

Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[ V \approx 160 \times 3.14 \approx 502.4 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]

Thus, the volume of the glass is approximately 502.4 cubic centimeters.
