A silo is a building shaped like a cylinder used to store grain. The diameter of a particular silo is 6.5 meters, and the height of the silo is 12 meters.

Answer 1

To calculate the volume of this silo, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

V = πr^2h

Where:
V = volume
π ≈ 3.14159
r = radius
h = height

First, we need to find the radius of the silo, which is half of the diameter:

r = 6.5 / 2 = 3.25 meters

Now we can plug these values into the formula:

V = 3.14159 x 3.25^2 x 12
V ≈ 3.14159 x 10.5625 x 12
V ≈ 398.879 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the silo is approximately 398.879 cubic meters.
