A company that manufactures storage bins for grains made a drawing of a silo. The silo has a conical base, as shown below.

Answer 1

Select one:
a. 58π ft3
b. 40π ft3
c. 23π ft3
d. 36π ft3

Answer 4

The silo is made up a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone.

The volume of the cylinder = π*r²*h = π*2²*8.5 = 34π as computer earlier in the thread.

To that, add the volume of the right circular cone.

The volume of the cone is (1/3)*B*h where B is the area of the circular base and h is the height.

V = (1/3) * π * (2)²*(4.5) = 6π
Add 34π to 6π to get the volume of the silo, cubic feet of course.

Answer 5

is the answer B

Answer 6

Yes.
