To solve this problem , you will need to find the volume of the glass, and since the glass is in the shape of a cylinder, you will need to use the formula to find the volume of a cylinder .
However , in this situation, you will have to find the radius of the glass by get 60 and divide it by 2 and you get 30. Now all you have to do is plug in the number that the problem provide you:
śr2h
= 3.14* 30 * 2 * 15
= 3.14 * 30 * 30
= 3.14 * 900
= 282.6 cubic centimeter
