To find the volume of the drinking glass, which is a cylinder, use the formula V = πr²h. First, convert the diameter to radius in inches (2.5/2 = 1.25 inches). Then convert the dimensions to centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm), so radius = 1.25 * 2.54 cm and height = 5.5 * 2.54 cm. Calculate the volume using these converted dimensions.
