to find the volume of a cylinder we would use this formula: V=πr^2h
farmer Ted bales large round balers of hay to store in his barn for winter feeding
how much hay is in the round bale in terms of π
the height is 4 ft and the length is 5 ft
To find the volume of the round bale, we first need to calculate the radius of the bale. Since the bale is round, the radius is half of the length, which is 5 ft/2 = 2.5 ft.
Now, plug the radius (r = 2.5 ft) and height (h = 4 ft) into the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = π(2.5)^2(4)
V = π(6.25)(4)
V = 25π
Therefore, there are 25π cubic feet of hay in the round bale.
