Answer:
94.2 inches square is the capacity.
Step-by-step 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 [tex]r=\frac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]
The height of the cylinder is h=12 inches.
The volume of the cylinder is
[tex]V=\pi r^2 h[/tex]
[tex]V=3.14\times 2.5\times 12[/tex]
[tex]V=94.2in^2[/tex]
Therefore, 94.2 inches square is the capacity.
