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

calculations.

First, we need to find the radius of the cylinder. The radius is half the diameter, so:

radius = 15 feet / 2 = 7.5 feet

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Now plug in the values we have:

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

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