Question

A cylindrical jelly jar is 5 inches across the top and 12 inches high. how much jelly can it hold?

Answer 1

cylinder volume = PI * radius^2 * height
cylinder volume = PI * 2.5^2 * 12
cylinder volume = PI * 6.25 * 12
cylinder volume = 235.619 cubic inches

Answer 2

94.2 inches square is the capacity.

Explanation:

Given : A cylindrical jelly jar is 5 inches across the top and 12 inches high.

To find : How much jelly can it hold?

Solution :

A cylindrical jelly jar is 5 inches across the top.

i.e. the diameter of the cylinder is d=5 inches.

Radius of the cylinder is
`r=(5)/(2)=2.5`

The height of the cylinder is h=12 inches.

The volume of the cylinder is

`V=\pi r^2 h`

`V=3.14* 2.5* 12`

`V=94.2in^2`

Therefore, 94.2 inches square is the capacity.
