Answer 1

To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we can model it as a cylinder. The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by:

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

where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder, and
- \( \pi \) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14.

Given:
- The width of the jar is 10 centimeters, which means the radius \( r \) is half of that:
\[
r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ centimeters}
\]
- The height \( h \) is 16 centimeters.

Now, we can substitute the values into the volume formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (5^2) \times 16
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 25 \times 16
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 400
\]
\[
V = 1256 \text{ cubic centimeters}
\]

Thus, the volume of the peanut butter jar is **1,256 cubic centimeters**.
