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.
1. 2,009.6 cubic centimeters
2. 1,256 cubic centimeters
3. 5,024 cubic centimeters
4. 4,019.2 cubic centimeters
To find the volume of the peanut butter jar, we need to multiply the height by the width.
Volume = height x width
Volume = 16 cm x 10 cm
Volume = 160 cm^2
However, volume is typically measured in cubic centimeters, so we need to convert square centimeters to cubic centimeters. Since we are dealing with a three-dimensional object, the volume will be equal to the area multiplied by the height.
Volume = 160 cm^2 x 1 cm
Volume = 160 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is 160 cubic centimeters.
None of the given options (1. 2,009.6 cubic centimeters, 2. 1,256 cubic centimeters, 3. 5,024 cubic centimeters, 4. 4,019.2 cubic centimeters) match the correct calculation.
