Answer:

14,660.77 ft^3

Explanation:

The volume of a hemisphere-topped cylinder is given by the formula ...

V = πr^2(2/3r +h)

where r is the radius and h is the height of the cylindrical section. Of course, the radius is half the diameter, so this silo has a volume of ...

V = π(10 ft)^2(20/3 +40 ft) = 14,660.77 ft^3

__

Additional comment

The volume is 14,653.33 ft^3 if you use 3.14 for π.
