To find the volume of the jar of peanut butter, we will assume it is in the shape of a cylinder. The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base of the cylinder,
- \( h \) is the height of the cylinder,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- The height \( h = 16 \) cm,
- The width (diameter) = 10 cm, so the radius \( r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \) cm.
Now, plug 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.
