a jar of salsa has a height of 6 inches and a radius of 2 inches.find the volume of the salsa jar.use 3.14 for pi

To find the volume of the jar, which is in the shape of a cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height, and
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:
- Height (\( h \)) = 6 inches
- Radius (\( r \)) = 2 inches

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (2^2) \times 6
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 24
\]
\[
V = 75.36
\]

So, the volume of the salsa jar is approximately **75.36 cubic inches**.
