Question

Because of a record corn harvest, excess corn is stored on the ground in a pile. The pile is shaped like a cone. The height of the pile is 25 ft, and the radius of the pile is 1.2 × 10 2 f t. Use the formula V = 1 3 π r 2 h to find the volume. Fill in the blanks provided below to represent your answer using 2 significant figures.

I need help please

Answer 1

`V=3141.59\ \text{feet}^3`

Explanation:

Given that,

The height of the pile, h = 25 feet

The radius of the pile,
`r=1.2* 10^2\ ft`

We need to find the volume of the pile of cone. The formula for the volume of a cone is given by :

`V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2h\\\\V=(1)/(3)\pi * (1.2* 10^2)* 25\\\\V=3141.59\ \text{feet}^3`

So, the required volume of the pile is
`3141.59\ \text{feet}^3`.
