Question

A jar of salsa has a height of 6 inches and a radius of 2 inches. Find the volume of the salsa jar. Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point)

75.36 cubic inches 75.36 cubic inches 18.84 cubic inches 18.84 cubic inches 226.08 cubic inches 226.08 cubic inches 56.52 cubic inches

Answer 1

To find the volume of a jar (which we can assume has a cylindrical shape), 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,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

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

Now, we can plug these values into the formula:

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

Calculating \( (2)^2 \):

\[
(2)^2 = 4
\]

Now, substitute that back into the volume formula:

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

Now, calculate \( 4 \times 6 \):

\[
4 \times 6 = 24
\]

Now, multiply by 3.14:

\[
V = 3.14 \times 24 = 75.36
\]

Therefore, the volume of the salsa jar is:

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