To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula:

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

where:

  • \(V\) is the volume,
  • \(r\) is the radius,
  • \(h\) is the height, and
  • \(\pi\) is approximately 3.14.

Given that the height (\(h\)) is 6 inches and the radius (\(r\)) is 2 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:

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

Calculating step-by-step:

  1. Calculate \(r^2\): \[ (2)^2 = 4 \]

  2. Multiply by height: \[ 4 \times 6 = 24 \]

  3. Finally, multiply by \(\pi\): \[ V = 3.14 \times 24 = 75.36 \]

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

The correct response is: 75.36 cubic inches.
