Answer 1

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

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

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

In this case:
- Radius \( r = 2 \) inches
- Height \( h = 6 \) inches
- Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)

Now, plug in the values:

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

Calculating \( (2)^2 \):

\[
(2)^2 = 4
\]

Now substitute back into the volume formula:

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

Calculating \( 4 \times 6 \):

\[
4 \times 6 = 24
\]

Substituting this back in:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 24
\]

Now calculate \( 3.14 \times 24 \):

\[
V = 75.36
\]

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

The correct response is:

**75.36 cubic inches**
