To find the volume of the salsa jar, which is in the shape of a cylinder, you 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:
- Height \( h = 6 \) inches
- Radius \( r = 2 \) inches
- \( \pi = 3.14 \)
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 24 \] \[ V = 75.36 \text{ cubic inches} \]
The volume of the salsa jar is 75.36 cubic inches.
