Please Help!! :) I'll draw the picture. Pictured here is a grain silo on a farm. If it can be filled to the very top with corn, about how much corn can this silo hold? 7,850 cubic feet of corn 23,550 cubic feet of corn 20,410 cubic feet of corn 81,640 cubic feet of corn

Find the volume of the right cylinder find the volume of the cone Add and the result should be the total volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do u do volume of cylinders and cones again?

OpenStudy (radar):

Do you want to do the cylincder first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (radar):

V = Pir^2h\[V=\pi 10^{2}\times60=18849.55592 cuFt\] That is the cylinder part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay and now for the cone one idk how to do cones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20,410 cubic feet of corn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (radar):

Now do the cone.\[\pi r ^{2}h \over3\] That is the formula for volume of a Right Circular Cone. r = radius (10 ft) h = height (15 ft)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My Pleasure =)

OpenStudy (radar):

\[\pi \times 10^{2}\times 15 \over 3 \] =1570.796327 cu ft their sum would be 20420.35 cu ft

I used 3.141592654 for pi which may explain the difference in the result from SavannahSaturn.

OpenStudy (radar):

I am sure you learned a great deal from theSavannahSaturn method lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just keeping it simple

OpenStudy (radar):

the best answer is of course 20,410 cubic feet of corn.
