Answer: Height of the water is 20 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Base area = 100 square cm

volume of vase shaped like an octogonal prism = 2 liters

We need to find the height of water.

and 1 liter = 1000 cm³

2 liters = 2×1000 cm³

As we know the formula for "Volume":

$Volume=\text{Base Area}\times height\\\\2\times 1000=100\times height\\\\height=\dfrac{2000}{100}\\\\height=20\ cm$

Hence, height of the water is 20 cm.
