Question

How much grain can this container hold? Express your

Answer 1

Answer:

$176\pi in.^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

In this problem, the container has a shape of a cylinder.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:

$V=\pi r^2 h$

where

V is the volume

r is the radius of the base of the cylinder

h is its height

For the container in this problem, we have:

r = 4 in. is the radius of the base

h = 11 in. is the height of the container

Substituting into the formula, we can find the volume of the container, and so the volume of grain that it can contain:

$V=\pi (4)^2 (11)=176\pi in.^3$
