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 a bale is 5 and the radius is 2
The volume of a cylinder (the shape of a round bale) can be calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the radius (r) is 2 and the height (h) is 5, we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = π(2)^2(5)
V = π(4)(5)
V = 20π
Therefore, the volume of hay in a round bale with a height of 5 and a radius of 2 is 20π.
