Question

A jar of peanut has a height of 16 centimeters and a weight of 10 centimeters. Find the volume of the peanut butter jar.

Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

Volume = π * r^2 * h

Where:
π is a mathematical constant equal to approximately 3.14159
r is the radius of the jar
h is the height of the jar

Given that the jar has a height of 16 centimeters, and a weight of 10 centimeters, we can determine the radius by dividing the weight by 2:

r = weight / 2 = 10 cm / 2 = 5 cm

Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:

Volume = π * (5 cm)^2 * 16 cm

Using the value of π ≈ 3.14159:

Volume ≈ 3.14159 * (5 cm)^2 * 16 cm
≈ 3.14159 * 25 cm^2 * 16 cm
≈ 1256.637 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is approximately 1256.637 cubic centimeters.
