The amount of water silo can hold in terms of π is 324π cubic feet

Solution:

Given that cylindrical shaped silo has a diameter of 18 feet and a height of 4 feet

To find: Amount of water silo can hold in terms of π

This means we are asked to find the volume of cylindrical shaped silo

The volume of cylinder is given as:


\text {volume of cylinder }=\pi \mathrm{r}^(2) \mathrm{h}

Where "r" is the radius of cylinder

"h" is the height of cylinder

π is the constant has a value 3.14

Given diameter = 18 feet


radius = (diameter)/(2) = (18)/(2) = 9

Substituting the values in formula, we get


\text {volume of cylinder }=\pi * 9^(2) * 4


\text {volume of cylinder }=\pi * 81 * 4=324 \pi

Thus amount of water silo can hold in terms of π is 324π cubic feet
