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?
A
2.52
B
7.67
C
7.79
D
10.11
Correct answer: D
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.
