Question

What is the volume of corn held in this cone-shaped grain silo? Use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest cubic foot. Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

3014 cubit foot

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Volume of the cone = 1/3πr²h

r is the base radius of the cone

h is the height

Given

r = 6ft

Get the height using the pythagoras theorem

h² = 10² - 6²

h² = 100 - 36

h² = 64

h = √64

h = 8ft

Get the volume

Volume = 1/3πr²h

Volume = 1/3 * 3.14 * 6^2*8

Volume = 3.14 * 12 * 8

Volume =3,014.4

Volume = 3014 cubit foot to the nearest foot
