Question

A silo in the shape of a cylinder is partially filled with corn to feed cows. The corn fills 25% of the height of the silo. What is the approximate volume of the part of the silo that is filled with corn if the silo is 12 feet in diameter and 60 feet high?

Answer 1

1695.6 cubic feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The corn fills 25% of the height of the silo.

The diameter of silo, d = 12 feet

Radius, r = 6 feet

Height, h = 60 feet

The volume of the part of the silo that is filled with corn is given by :

`V=25\%\ of\ \pi r^2 h\\\\=(25)/(100)* 3.14* 6^2* 60\\\\V= $$1695.6\ feet^3`

So, the required volume is equal to 1695.6 cubic feet.
