A grain silo is a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. In the Happy Farms grain silo, the height of the cylindrical portion is 30 feet. The radius is 10 feet. The volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr2h. What is the volume of the cylinder? Show your work.

Answer 1

To find the volume of the cylinder, we will use the formula V = πr^2h.

Given:
r = 10 feet
h = 30 feet

Plugging in the values:
V = π(10)^2(30)
V = π(100)(30)
V = 3000π

So, the volume of the cylindrical portion of the grain silo is 3000π cubic feet.
