Question

14 A grain silo is shaped like a cylinder. The height of the silo is 60 feet tall, and the circumference of
the base is a 20tt feet. Which measurement is closest to the volume of the silo in cubic feet?
F 3,769.9 ft
G 75,398.2 ft
H 226,194.7 ft 3
3 18,849.6 ft

Answer 1

Answer:

$Volume = 1906.14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Height = 60ft$

$Circumference = 20ft$

Required

Determine the volume

First, we need to determine the radius of the base using:

$C = 2\pi r$

Substitute 20 for C

$20 = 2 * 3.14 * r$

$20 = 6.28 * r$

Solve for r

$r = 20/6.28$

$r = 3.18$  -- approximated.

The volume is then calculated as thus:

$Volume = \pi r^2h$

$Volume = 3.14 * 3.18^2 * 60$

$Volume = 1906.14$

None of the given options is close to the volume of the silo
