A jar of peanut butter has a height of 16 centimeters and a width of 10 centimeters. Find the volume of the peanut butter jar. Use 3.14 for pi. (1 point)

1 answer

The volume of the peanut butter jar can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

First, we need to find the radius of the jar. The radius is half of the width, so r = 10/2 = 5 cm.

Now, we can plug in the values for radius and height into the formula:

V = 3.14*5^2*16
V = 3.14*25*16
V = 1256 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1256 cubic centimeters.
