Question

the diameter of a particular silo ie 6.5 meters, and the height of the silo is 12 meters. Which equation can be used to find V, the volume of the silo in cubic meters?

Answer 1

Given data:

The given diameter is d=6.5 m.

The given height is h=12 m.

The expression for the volume of the silo is,

$V=\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2h$

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi(\frac{6.5\text{ m}}{2})^2(12\text{ m)} \\ =\pi(3.25)^2(12)m^3 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the option (A) is correct.
