Sylvie has a cylindrical vase that is 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide. How many cubic inches of water will this vase hold?



Find the Volume of the vase. Use 3.14 for pi. Do not round.



Volume of Right Prism or Cylinder = (area of base)(height) or V = Bh

Area of a Circle = πr2

To determine the volume of the cylindrical vase, we’ll use the given formulas and dimensions.

  1. Find the radius of the circular base: The width of the cylinder is given as 8 inches. The radius (r) is half of the diameter (width). \[ r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{8 \text{ inches}}{2} = 4 \text{ inches} \]

  2. Find the area of the circular base: The area (A) of the circle is given by the formula: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Substituting in the values: \[ A = 3.14 \cdot (4 \text{ inches})^2 = 3.14 \cdot 16 \text{ square inches} = 50.24 \text{ square inches} \]

  3. Identify the height of the cylinder: The height (h) is given as 10 inches.

  4. Find the volume of the cylinder: The volume (V) is given by: \[ V = Bh = A \cdot h \] Substituting in the values: \[ V = 50.24 \text{ square inches} \cdot 10 \text{ inches} = 502.4 \text{ cubic inches} \]

Now we can summarize the answers:

  • Radius of the circular base: 4 inches
  • Area of the circular base: 50.24 square inches
  • Height of the cylinder: 10 inches
  • Volume of the cylinder: 502.4 cubic inches

Thus, the vase will hold 502.4 cubic inches of water.
