Question

The sand used for sanding icy roads in the winter is stored in a conical-shaped structure with a radius of 10 m and a height of 16 m. Calculate the maximum amount of sand which can be stored in this structure.

Answer 1

1,675.516

Explanation:

The formula for a cone is V = pi r^2 h/3.

Plugging in the values of the radius and height, V = pi 10^2 16/3

Solving, you get:

V = pi 100 5.3333333

V = 1,675.516
