@hartnn I need help with this question.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

think of the silo as being made of a cylinder and a cone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm confused what formula to apply. Cylinder formula?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

the cylinder has a radius of 2 ft and height 8 ft so its volume is pi *2^2* 8

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

(pi r^2h)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

the cone has a height of 9.5 - 8 = 1.5 ft and its radius is 2 volume of cone = (1/3)pi r^2 h

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

work the 2 volumes out and add them to get total vol of silo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of cylinder+ volume of cone = ________ final answer , correct?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100.53 + 6.28?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

work out the answer in terms of pi cylinder = 32 pi cone = 2 pi giving 34 pi

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

your answers are also correct

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

106.81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

bit the options are all in terms of pi so its best to present it that way

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

May I take you in a few more?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
