Question

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?

Answer 1

Anyone?

Answer 2

For cylinder :
V=π* (r^2) * h
for cap :
V=1/3 (π* (r^2) * h)

Answer 3

so 27,213 feet of corn?

Answer 4

not feet
, damn it, wait, i will wiki this, we use metric system in europe wich is easier in this kind of things

Answer 5

is it the same number?? I doesn't have to be feet it can be the same number so is it 27,213?

Answer 6

if it were for meters it would easily turn into cubic meters

Answer 7

it is cubic feet

Answer 8

oh...
I guess that was obvious :D

Answer 9

Yea :D

Answer 10

wait

Answer 11

did you use r= 20 feet or r = 10 feet?

Answer 12

r=20

Answer 13

damn

Answer 14

wait, i'll write whole plan

Answer 15

I have to do math meaning im one of the youngest violin players to go on tour

Answer 16

If I fail at math= im kicked out of the tour

Answer 17

And I am playing solo's in sold out concerts

Answer 18

So yea

Answer 19

d=20 feet
r= 10 feet
h1 = 80 feet
h2 = 20 feet

V1=π* (r^2) * h = (10^2)*80*π=8000π
V2=1/3*(π* (r^2) * h2)= 1/3 (10^2)*20*π= (2000π)/3
V(whole)= V1+V2 = 8000π + (2000π)/3 = (26000π)/3 cubic feet

V should be about (26000π)/3 cubic feet , use calculator if you need to express more "explicit".
Message me if something is wrong or you don't get it

Answer 20

so 25,120

Answer 21

approximately, it's hard for me to comprehend if it works absolutely the same as in metric system
