To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we can assume it has the shape of a cylinder. The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- Height \( h = 16 \) cm
- Diameter \( d = 10 \) cm, therefore the radius \( r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \) cm.
Now we can plug in 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.
The correct answer is: 1,256 cubic centimeters.
