Question

A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. It's radius is 7.5ft and it's height is 38ft. What is the volume of the silo? Use the value of 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

VOLUME of a cylinder = pi r^2 * h

Volume = 3.14 * 7.5 ^2 * 38 ft^3

= ~ 6712 ft^3

Answer 2

6712 ft³

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is calculated with the following formula:

Volume = π × radius² × height

Where:

• π is a mathematical constant with the approximate value of 3.14
• radius is the distance from the center of the cylinder to the edge
• height is the distance from the top of the cylinder to the bottom

In this case, the radius is 7.5ft and the height is 38ft. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Volume = 3.14 × (7.5ft)² × 38ft

Volume = 6711.75 ft³

Rounding this answer to the nearest whole number, we get 6712 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the silo is 6712 ft³.
