A jar of salsa has a height of 6 inches and a radius of 2 inches. Find the volume of the salsa jar. Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point) Responses 75.36 cubic inches 75.36 cubic inches 226.08 cubic inches 226.08 cubic inches 56.52 cubic inches 56.52 cubic inches 18.84 cubic inches

1 answer

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,
  • \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:

  • Height (\( h \)) = 6 inches
  • Radius (\( r \)) = 2 inches

Plugging in the values:

\[ V = 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 24 \] \[ V = 75.36 \]

Thus, the volume of the salsa jar is 75.36 cubic inches.
