ANSWER AND STEPS PLEASE

A container that holds wheat is shaped like a cone. The diameter of the base of the container is 21 and 3/4 feet, and the height of the container is 10.3 feet.

Which measurement is closest to the volume of the container in cubic feet?

Answer choices:

A. 15,307.55 ft3

B. 1,275.63 ft3

C. 5,102.52 ft3

D. 3,826.89 ft3

Answer 1

answer is b.

Step-by-step explanation: use formula

V=1/3(hπr²)

so using this formula gives us 1275.62897 but rounded off gives us 1,275.63 ft3

ok the diameter is 21 3/4ft i converted it to a decimal, 21.75ft so to get the radius i 21.75ft/2= 10.875ft

ok to continue

V=1/3(hπr²)

V=1/3(3.14*10.875ft)h

V=1/3(118.265625ft)

V=1/3(118.265625 ft)10.3ft

V=1275.62897 which rounded=1,275.63 ft3
