silo has a volume of 18,840 ft³. The height of the silo is 60 ft. What is the silo's radius? Use 3.14 to approximate ππ .

1 answer:

4 0

To find r, you need to isolate it. pi*r^2*60=18,840. divide 18,840 by 60, then pi, it comes out at 100. Now find the square root to get 10

r=10

Answer:

V = 8,181.23 $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Unfortunately, we are not given any answer choices to choose from but using the information provided we can find the actual volume of the basketball. A basketball is made in the shape of a sphere and the formula for the volume of a sphere is the following...

V = $\frac{4}{3} * \pi * r^{3}$

radius of a circle/sphere is half of it's diameter. Since we are provided the diameter size we simply divide it by 2 which would give us 12.5cm. Now we simply plug this value into the formula and solve for V.

V = $\frac{4}{3} * \pi * 12.5^{3}$
