Going back to the original question, we can use the formula V = mr?h to find the radius of the cylindrical storage container for compost. We know that the volume we want to store is 55 ft and the height of the container is 8 ft. Rearranging the formula to solve for the radius r, we get:
r = V / (m?h)
Where V = 55 ft and h = 8 ft. We do not have the value of m, which stands for pi (approximately 3.14159) times the density of the material the container is made of. However, we can assume that the container is made of a standard material, such as plastic or metal, and use an average value for m. For example, if we use m = 25 (an arbitrary value), we get:
r = 55 / (25 * pi * 8)
r = 0.278 ft or approximately 3.34 inches
Therefore, the radius of the cylindrical storage container for compost would be approximately 0.278 ft or 3.34 inches, assuming a volume of 55 ft and a height of 8 ft, and using an arbitrary value for the density of the material.
