To find the volume of the round bale of hay, we would use the formula V=πr^2h, where r is the radius of the bale and h is the height.
Given that the length of the bale is 5ft, the radius would be half of that, so r = 5ft/2 = 2.5ft.
Therefore, plugging in the values into the formula:
V = π(2.5)^2 * 4
V = π(6.25) * 4
V = 25π
So, the amount of hay in the round bale is 25π ft^3.
The closest answer choice is A. 40π ft^3.
To find the volume of a Cylinder, we would use this formula: V=πr^2h Farmer Ted bales large round bales of hay to store in his barn for winter feeding. How much hay is in a round bale, in terms of π ? the height of the bale is 4ft and the length is 5ft (1 point) Responses
