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)
feet3
Volume of a cylinder = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height
Given:
Height (h) = 40 feet
Diameter = 15 feet
Radius (r) = 15/2 = 7.5 feet
Volume = π(7.5)^2(40)
Volume = 3.14 * 56.25 * 40
Volume = 3.14 * 2250
Volume = 7065 feet^3
The farmer will sell 7065 cubic feet of corn at the end of the season.
