Explanation:

Because we know Mishka has a height of 6 cm of broth left in the can, we know she used:

10"cm" - 6"cm" = 4"cm"10cm6cm=4cm of brother from the height perspective.

We can now use this information and the radius given in the problem to determine how much broth Mishka used by using the formula for the volume of a cylinder which is:

V = pir^2hV=πr2h

Substituting the radius from the problem and height used we calculated gives:

V = pi xx (10"cm")^2 xx 4"cm"V=π×(10cm)2×4cm

V = pi xx 100"cm"^2 xx 4"cm"V=π×100cm2×4cm

V = pi xx 400"cm"^3V=π×400cm3

We can estimate piπ as 3.143.14:

V = 3.14 xx 400"cm"^3V=3.14×400cm3

V = 1256"cm"^3V=1256cm3

Mishka used 1,256 cubic centimeters of broth.
