Question

A silo has a diameter of 50 feet and a height of 30 feet with a cone on top adding another 10 feet of height. What is the volume of the silo.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Solve this by adding the volume of the cylinder with the volume of the cone. The volume of a cylinder is found from the equation:

pi * r^2 * h

In this case that gives pi * 50^2 * 30 = 75000pi

The area of the cone is found from the equation:

pi * r^2 * h *1/3

In this case you get pi * 50^2 * 10 * 1/3= 8333.pi

Add the two to ger 83333.333*pi ~261799
