80π ft3
20π ft3
10π ft3
40π ft3
The correct answer is 40π ft3
Explanation: The formula for the volume of a cylinder (which closely resembles a round bale) is V=πr2h. Since a round bale of hay is cylindrical in shape, we would use this formula. The volume of the round bale is given in terms of π, which means that the answer must include π. In this case, the correct calculated volume is 40π ft3.
