A farmer wants to know how much corn he is going to sell at the end of the season. He stores the corn in a silo, which is in the shape of a right circular cylinder. If the height is 40 feet, and the diameter is 15 feet, what is the volume? Use 3.14 for π.(1 point)

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the radius of the cylinder, which is half of the diameter. So, radius = 15 feet / 2 = 7.5 feet.

Next, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

V = 3.14 x (7.5 feet)^2 x 40 feet
V = 3.14 x 56.25 square feet x 40 feet
V = 3.14 x 2250 cubic feet
V = 7065 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of corn that the farmer can store in the silo is 7065 cubic feet.
