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.
