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)

Question

feet

Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylinder, you can use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 15 feet, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 15/2 = 7.5 feet.

Plugging in the values of r = 7.5 feet and h = 40 feet into the formula, we get:

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

Therefore, the volume of the corn in the silo is 7065 cubic feet.
