Answer 1

The volume of the peanut butter jar can be calculated using the formula for volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

First, we need to find the radius of the jar. The width of the jar is given as 10 centimeters, which is the diameter. So, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 5 centimeters.

Now, substitute the values of r = 5 cm and h = 16 cm into the formula:

V = 3.14 * (5)^2 * 16
V = 3.14 * 25 * 16
V = 3.14 * 400
V = 1,256 cubic centimeters

Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1,256 cubic centimeters.

Correct answer: 1,256 cubic centimeters
