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.
A. 4,019.2 cubic centimeters
B. 5,024 cubic centimeters
C. 2,009.6 cubic centimeters
D. 1,256 cubic centimeters
The volume of the peanut butter jar can be found by multiplying the height, width, and depth of the jar.
Assuming that the depth of the jar is equal to the width, the volume is:
Volume = height * width * depth
Volume = 16 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm
Volume = 1,600 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1,600 cubic centimeters.
None of the given answer choices are correct.
choose the closest one
The closest answer choice to 1,600 cubic centimeters would be:
C. 2,009.6 cubic centimeters
Although it is not exactly the same as the calculated volume, it is the closest option provided.
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is length multiplied by width multiplied by height.
Given:
Height = 16 centimeters
Width = 10 centimeters
Volume = Height × Width × Length
Since the length is not given, we cannot directly calculate the volume. It seems that the length of the jar is missing in the information provided. Without the length, we cannot accurately determine the volume of the peanut butter jar.
Therefore, none of the answer choices A, B, C, or D can be correct as they all provide specific volume values.
