A farm has two cylindrical silos for storing grain as shown.
How much greater is the volume, in cubic feet, of the larger silo than the smaller silo?
Use 3.14 for pi.

The volume of Silo A is 1
ft3.
The volume of Silo B is 2
ft3.
The volume of Silo A is 3
cubic feet larger than the volume of the Silo B.
To find the volume of a cylindrical silo, we use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height of the silo.
Given that the volume of Silo A is 1 ft^3, we can set up the equation as follows:
1 = πr_A^2h_A
Similarly, for Silo B with volume 2 ft^3:
2 = πr_B^2h_B
To find the difference in volume between the two silos, we need to subtract the volume of Silo B from the volume of Silo A:
Volume difference = Volume of Silo A - Volume of Silo B
We can now solve for the difference in volume.
