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
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.
Plugging in the values:
- Radius \( r = 2 \) inches
- Height \( h = 6 \) inches
\[ V = 3.14 \times (2)^2 \times 6 \]
Calculating \( (2)^2 \): \[ (2)^2 = 4 \]
Now substituting it back: \[ V = 3.14 \times 4 \times 6 \]
Calculating \( 4 \times 6 \): \[ 4 \times 6 = 24 \]
Now, multiply: \[ V = 3.14 \times 24 \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 24 \): \[ V = 75.36 \thinspace \text{cubic inches} \]
So, the volume of the salsa jar is 75.36 cubic inches.
