Answer: 287.83 cubic yards.

Work Shown:


V = (1)/(3)\pi*r^2*h\\\\V = (1)/(3)\pi*5^2*11\\\\V = (1)/(3)\pi*275\\\\V = (275)/(3)\pi \ \text{ ... exact volume in terms of pi}\\\\V \approx (275)/(3)(3.14)\\\\V \approx 287.83333\\\\V \approx 287.83\\\\

The units for the volume are in cubic yards which can be abbreviated to the notation
\text{yd}^3
