A company that manufactures storage bins for grains made a drawing of a silo. The silo has a conical base, as shown below. What is the total volume of grains that can be stored in the silo? 34π ft3 68π ft3 136π ft3 152π ft3

You have to take the volume of a cylinder and add it to the volume of a cone. The volume of a cylinder is \[v=pir ^{2}h\] and the volume of a cone is \[V=(1/3)pir ^{2}h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is pir?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

R = radius which is 2 (the diameter is 4. 4 divide by 2 is 2). pi is 3.142

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh pi times the radius, so 2*3.14 is 6.28 so then i need to square tht?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and times it by the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would probably be easier to take the radius squared then multiply by 3.14 and then take it times the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4 times 3.14 is 12.56 and the height is 9.5, soo 12.56 * 9.5 would be 113.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I'm getting 119.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer choices are 34π ft3 68π ft3 136π ft3 152π ft3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but you still need to find the volume of a cone and add the two volumes together. In this case, the answers are not multiplying by 3.14. So really for the circle's volume it would be 38pi + the volume of the cone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesnt give the volume of the cone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of cone = 1/3 * pi * r squared * height

i have to go thank you for trying to help though i will give you a medal
