Find the volume specified. Use 3.14 as the approximate value of x, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Find the volume of a feed bin having the shape of a right circular cylinder of radius 9 ft and height 9 ft topped by a right circular cone of the same radius and height 4 ft.

1 answer

To find the volume of the feed bin, we need to find the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the cone, and then add them together.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
So the volume of the cylinder is V_cylinder = 3.14 * 9² * 9 = 2280.06 ft³.

The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = πr²h/3, where r is the radius and h is the height.
So the volume of the cone is V_cone = 3.14 * 9² * 4/3 = 904.32 ft³.

Now we can find the total volume by adding the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the cone.
V_total = V_cylinder + V_cone = 2280.06 + 904.32 = 3184.38 ft³.

Therefore, the volume of the feed bin is approximately 3184.38 ft³.
