Volume of Cylinders Quick Check 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 Use 3.14 for pi
To find the volume of the jar, we need to multiply the area of the base by the height. The base of the jar is a circle, so we need to find the area of the circle.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius.
The width of the jar is given as 10 centimeters, which is the diameter of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 10/2 = 5 centimeters.
Now we can find the area of the base of the jar:
A = 3.14 * (5)^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square centimeters
Finally, we can find the volume by multiplying the area of the base by the height:
V = 78.5 * 16 = 1256 cubic centimeters
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 1256 cubic centimeters.
