My sister’s birthday is in a few weeks and I would like to buy her a new vase to keep fresh flowers in her house. She often forgets to water her flowers and needs a vase that holds a lot of water. In a catalog there are three vases available and I want to purchase the one that holds the most water. The first vase is a cylinder with diameter 10 cm and height 40 cm. The second vase is a cone with base diameter 16 cm and height 45 cm. The third vase is a sphere with diameter 18 cm.
Suppose the diameter of each vase decreases by 2 cm, Which vase would hold the most water? Show your work.

Answer:
The Cone shape vase will contain most water.
If 2 cm decreases from every diameter
Capacity of Cylinder = 8x20
= 160 cm
Capacity of Sphere = 16x16
= 256 cm
Capacity of Cone = 45x14
= 630 cm
