The volume of the water is determined by taking the difference between the volume of the water initially and the volume of the marbles placed in the cylinder/


Volume of water = Volume of water 10 inch high - Volume of 6 marbles 
= π(3 in)^2 * (10 in) - 6(4/3)(π)(1 in)^3 = 90π in^3 - 8π in^3 = 82π in^3
