Given:

The radius of the cylinder is 4cm.

The cylinder is filled with peanut butter of height 12cm.

To find:

The total number of cubic centimeters of peanut butter in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the volume formula of the cylinder,

`V=\pi r^2h`

On substitution we get,

`\begin{gathered} V=3.14*4^2*12 \\ V=602.88\text{ cubic cm} \end{gathered}`

Final answer:

The total number of cubic centimetres of peanut butter in the jar is 602.88 cubic cm.
