Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylindrical jar, we can use the formula:

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

where \(V\) is the volume, \(r\) is the radius, and \(h\) is the height of the cylinder.

Given:
- Radius \(r = 2\) inches
- Height \(h = 6\) inches
- \(\pi \approx 3.14\)

Now, we can plug in the values:

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

Calculating \( (2)^2 \):

\[
(2)^2 = 4
\]

Now substitute that into the volume formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6
\]

Calculating \( 4 \times 6 \):

\[
4 \times 6 = 24
\]

Now substitute that back into the volume formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 24
\]

Calculating \( 3.14 \times 24 \):

\[
3.14 \times 24 = 75.36
\]

Therefore, the volume of the salsa jar is

\[
\boxed{75.36} \text{ cubic inches}
\]
