I have 3 flower vases. My daughters sent me flowers. The packet of cut flower food that came with the flowers says to add 1/2 gallon of cool water. I want to fill the vase at least half before adding the flowers, but no more than 3/4 full before adding the flowers. (231 cubic inches = 1 gallon)

Which vase would be best to use?

My vases are:

a cylinder with a diameter of 8" and 8" tall

a rectangular prism that is 4" by 5" and 10" tall

a triangular prism with a height of 10". The triangular base has a height of 6" and a base of 3"

Which vase do I use? Justify your answer.

Answer:

The cylinder vase, I think, if you give me about five minutes I'll know for sure! I'm taking the test right now

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism is 200

Equation: length x width x height = 4 x 5 x 10 = 200

The volume of the cylinder is 402.12

Equation: [tex]\pi r^{2} h[/tex] = [tex]\pi 4^{2} 8[/tex] = 402.12

The volume of the triangular prism is 180

Equation: base area x height = (6 x 3) x 10 = 180
