Answer:
D)
, or approximately 25.133 units squared.
Explanation:
The volume of a cylinder is
, where
represents the radius, and
represents the height.
First, we can determine the volume (
) of the entire jar. We can do this by simply plugging in 2 for our
and 8 for our
.



Since we know that the jar is is only filled
th of the way, we know that the area the preserves are taking up is
th of the total volume,
. We'll represent this as
.
(we know the preservatives (
) only take up
th of the jar)
(since we know the volume of the jar (
) is
)
(simplify)
Therefore, we have determined that the preservatives take up
units squared, which is approximately 25.133 units squared, or D.
