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.1,256 cubic centimeters
b4,019.2 cubic centimeters
c.2,009.6 cubic centimeters
d.5,24 cubic centimeters
The volume of the peanut butter jar can be found by multiplying the height, width, and depth (or thickness):
Volume = height * width * depth
Since the depth is not given in the question and the jar is generally cylindrical in shape, we can assume that the depth is equal to the width.
Therefore, the volume of the peanut butter jar is:
Volume = 16 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm = 1600 cubic cm
The only option that matches this answer is:
c. 2,009.6 cubic centimeters
