Question

A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. Its radius is 7ft, and its height is 33ft. What is the volume of the silo?

Answer 1

We can use formula of volume of cylinder to calculate volume of silo.

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi r^2 h$

Plug the given values of radius r=7 ft and height h= 33 ft

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (7)^2 (33)$

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (49) (33)$

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (1617)$

So the required volume of silo is [tex] 1617 \pi [\tex]
