To find the volume of a cylindrical jar, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where \( V \) is the volume, \( r \) is the radius, \( h \) is the height, and \( \pi \) (pi) is approximately 3.14.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 2 \) inches
- Height \( h = 6 \) inches
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Plugging in the values:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 \] \[ = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \] \[ = 3.14 \times 24 \] \[ = 75.36 \text{ cubic inches} \]
So, the volume of the salsa jar is 75.36 cubic inches.
