Question: A cylinder-shaped jelly jar has a radius of 2 cm and a height of 6 cm. How much jelly can the jar hold?

Step-by-step explanation:

The cylinder-shaped jelly has a volume of gelatin equal to its cylindrical volume. Therefore, we must find the volume of the given cylinder. The volume V of the cylinder with radius r and height h is given by the following formula:


V=h\pi r^2

Applying the data of the problem, we obtain:


V=h\pi r^2=6\text{ * }\pi\text{ * \lparen2}^\text{\rparen}^2\text{ = 24}\pi\text{ =75.398}

Answer: we can conclude that the correct answer is:


\text{ 24}\pi\text{ =75.398}
