The figure shows the scale of a measuring cylinder after water was poured in. Record the volume of water in the measuring cylinder.

To accurately determine the volume of water in the measuring cylinder, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Meniscus: Look for the curved surface of the water. The correct volume reading is taken at the bottom of the meniscus.

2. Read the Scale: Check the scale markings on the measuring cylinder. This can often be in milliliters (mL).

3. Estimate Between Markings: If the meniscus lies between two scale markings, estimate the volume accordingly.

Since no figure is provided here, a precise numerical answer cannot be given. However, you would typically read the meniscus at its lowest point and interpolate if necessary. For example, if the meniscus is at the 250 mL mark and slightly above, you might estimate it to be around 252 mL or similar depending on its position.

Once you observe the meniscus and the corresponding scale, you can report the volume in a simple format, such as:

Final Answer

The volume of water in the measuring cylinder is approximately [insert observed volume here] mL.
