Hard-difficulty · SAT Math · Area and Volume — Volume of prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres. Read the question above, select your answer, and check the full explanation below to understand exactly why the correct choice works.
Answer explanation
Choice D is correct. Using the volume formula 
and the given information that the volume of the glass is 473 cubic centimeters, the value of k can be found as follows:
Therefore, the value of k is approximately 10.11 centimeters.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Substituting the values of k from these choices in the formula results in volumes of approximately 7 cubic centimeters, 207 cubic centimeters, and 217 cubic centimeters, respectively, all of which contradict the given information that the volume of the glass is 473 cubic centimeters.
