Question

The glass pictured above can hold a maximum volume of 473 cubic centimeters, which is approximately 16 fluid ounces. What is the value of k, in centimeters?

Accepted Answer

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.
