Final answer:
The volume of the peanut butter jar is calculated by multiplying the given dimensions, assuming a rectangular shape. The correct formula is V = lwh and the calculated volume for the jar with the dimensions provided (16cm x 10cm x 10cm) is 1600 cm³, which is option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of the peanut butter jar, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h. However, as we don't have the radius and the question suggests the jar has a rectangular shape rather than cylindrical, we will assume the 'width' is synonymous with the diameter for the cylindrical calculation, or as the length of one side if the jar is in fact rectangular. As the question does not provide information about the shape, and typically jars can be cylindrical, we might first assume a cylindrical jar; in this case, the radius (r) would be half of the width, so r = 10 cm / 2 = 5 cm, and we would calculate V = 3.1416 x (5 cm)² x 16 cm. If the jar is in fact rectangular, the volume would be calculated simply by multiplying length x width x height; since the question does not clarify the shape precisely, we use the given dimensions as length and width.
Assuming a rectangular shape, the volume is calculated by the formula V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Therefore, V = 10 cm x 10 cm x 16 cm = 1600 cm³.
The correct answer from the given options is C) 1600 cm³.
