The volume \( V \) of a cylinder (which is the shape of the salsa jar) is given by the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
Where:
- \( r \) 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 in the values:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 \]
First, calculate \( (2)^2 \):
\[ (2)^2 = 4 \]
Now substitute back into the volume formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \]
Now calculate \( 4 \times 6 \):
\[ 4 \times 6 = 24 \]
Finally, calculate the volume:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 24 = 75.36 \]
So, the volume of the salsa jar is 75.36 cubic inches.
