4.17 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The large bottle of nasal spray is 9.46 centimeters tall. Assuming that the large bottle of nasal spray has the shape of cylinder, then the height of the cylinder is 9.46 centimeters.

The small bottle is 5.29 centimeters tall. Assuming that the small bottle of nasal spray has the shape of a cylinder too, then the height of the cylinder is 9.46 centimeters.

We want to know how much shorter the smaller bottle is than the big bottle. This is calculated by

Height of big bottle - height of small bottle

= 9.46 centimeters. - 5.29 centimeters

= 4.17 centimeters
