Answer 1

To find the volume of the salsa jar, which is in the shape of a cylinder, you 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.

Plugging in the values:

• Radius $r=2$ inches
• Height $h=6$ inches

$$V=3.14\times (2{)}^2\times 6$$

Calculating $(2{)}^2$: $$(2{)}^2=4$$

Now substituting it back: $$V=3.14\times 4\times 6$$

Calculating $4\times 6$: $$4\times 6=24$$

Now, multiply: $$V=3.14\times 24$$

Calculating $3.14\times 24$: $$V=75.36\text{cubic inches}$$

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