Question

A conic storage unit has a radus of 8 feet and a height equal to its diameter.

What is the volume of the storage unit?

Answer 1

Explanation:

he height of the storage unit is equal to twice its radius (since the diameter is twice the radius), so the height is 2 x 8 = 16 feet.

The storage unit is in the shape of a cylinder, so we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height:

V = π(8^2)(16)

V = π(64)(16)

V = 3,218.69 cubic feet (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the volume of the storage unit is approximately 3,218.69 cubic feet.
