A jar of peanut butter has a height of 16 centimeters and a width of 10 centimeters. Find the volume of the peanut butter jar
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
First, we need to find the radius of the jar. The width is given as 10 centimeters, so the diameter, which is twice the radius, is 10 centimeters. Therefore, the radius is 10/2 = 5 centimeters.
Using the given values, the height is 16 centimeters and the radius is 5 centimeters.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = π(5^2)(16) = 400π cubic centimeters.
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 400π cubic centimeters.
