"Use tables"...?
The ratio of the volume of water to the volume of the vessel is 1:2. By a powerful general principle regarding similar figures, the ratio of corresponding linear measurements in the two figures is .
The depth of the vessel is 10cm; the depth of the water in cm is
= 7.937 to 3 decimal places

Further notes....
In case you are not familiar with the basic principle here....
If the scale factor (ratio of linear measurements) between two similar figures is A:B, then the ratio of corresponding area measurements is A^2:B^2, and the ratio of corresponding volume measurements is A^3:B^3.
In this problem, given 1:2 as the ratio of volumes, the ratio of depths (a linear measurement) is

Is "half-filled" by volume?
or by depth?
