Answer:

5127079.21 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The silo is in the shape of a cylinder and a cone.

The volume of the silo will be the sum of the volumes of the cylinder and the cone.

Therefore, its volume is:

$V = \pi r^2h + \frac{1}{3} \pi rH$

where r = radius of cylinder and cone

h = height of cylinder

H = height of cone

The radius of the base is 120 feet, the height of the roof (cone) is 25 feet. The height of the entire silo is 130 feet. This means that the height of the cylinder is:

130 - 25 = 105 feet

Therefore, the volume of the silo is:

$V = (\pi * 120^2 * 105) + (\frac{1}{3} * 120^2 * 25)\\\\V = 4750088.09 + 376991.12\\\\V = 5127079.21 ft^3$

The volume of the silo is 5127079.21 cubic feet.

What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon with 12 sides?

Vadim26 [7]

A polygon has as many interior angles as sides. An equilateral triangle has three equal 60 degree angles. The sum of the angles of this and any triangle is 180 degrees.The sum of the four interior angles of a square is 360 degrees, which is the same for any quadrilateral.
