Question

A barn silo, excluding the top, is a cylinder. The silo is 7 m in

Answer 1

The volume of the silo is 461.81 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

A barn silo, excluding the top, is a cylinder

• The silo is 7 m in  diameter
• Its height is 12 m

We need to find the volume of the silo

∵ The silo is shaped a cylinder

∵ The volume of a cylinder = base area × height

∵ The base is shaped a circle

∵ Area a circle = π r², where r is the radius of the circle

∴ The volume of the silo = π r² × h

∵ The diameter of the silo = 7 m

∵ The radius of a circle is half the diameter

∴ The radius of the silo = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 7 = 3.5 m

∵ The height of the silo = 12 m

- Substitute the values of r and h in the rule of volume

∴ The volume of the silo = π (3.5)² × 12

∴ The volume of the silo = 147 π = 461.81 m³

The volume of the silo is 461.81 m³
