Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Measurement

Examine the image of the graduated cylinder to determine the volume of liquid it contains. The meniscus (the curve seen at the liquid's surface) is the point at which the measurement should be read.

Step 2: Read the Meniscus

Locate the bottom of the meniscus. In this image, the meniscus is between the 20 mL and 21 mL marks.

Step 3: Estimate the Volume

Estimate the volume to the nearest significant figure. The meniscus appears to be slightly above the 20 mL mark but below the 21 mL mark. It looks to be at approximately 20.5 mL.

Final Answer

The volume, in milliliters, that should be reported is 20.5 mL.
