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 multiply its height by its width and depth.
Let's assume that the depth of the jar is also 10 centimeters.
Volume = height × width × depth
Volume = 16 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm
Volume = 1600 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1600 cubic centimeters.

I apologize for the mistake.
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we need to multiply its height by its cross-sectional area.
The cross-sectional area of the jar can be found by multiplying the width and depth of the jar.
Let's assume the depth of the jar is 10 centimeters.
Cross-sectional area = width × depth
Cross-sectional area = 10 cm × 10 cm
Cross-sectional area = 100 square centimeters
Now, we can find the volume by multiplying the cross-sectional area by the height of the jar.
Volume = cross-sectional area × height
Volume = 100 square cm × 16 cm
Volume = 1600 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1600 cubic centimeters.
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, since the jar has a cylindrical shape. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = π * r^2 * h
Where V is the volume, π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, r is the radius of the circular base of the cylinder, and h is the height of the cylinder.
To calculate the volume of the peanut butter jar, we need to find the radius of the circular base. The width of the jar is given, so to find the radius, we divide the width by 2 since the width is equal to the diameter.
Width = 10 cm
Radius = Width / 2 = 10 cm / 2 = 5 cm
Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:
V = π * (5 cm)^2 * 16 cm
V = 3.14159 * 25 cm^2 * 16 cm
V ≈ 1256.63706 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is approximately 1256.63706 cubic centimeters.
