Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of the grain silo can be found by adding the volumes of all the solids of which it is composed (a cylinder and two cones). The silo is made up of a cylinder (with height 10 feet and base radius 5 feet) and two cones (each with height 5 ft and base radius 5 ft). The formulas given at the beginning of the SAT Math section:

Volume of a Cone:

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

Volume of a Cylinder:

V=\pi r^2h

can be used to determine the total volume of the silo. Since the two cones have identical dimensions, the total volume, in cubic feet, of the silo is given by

V_{silo} =\pi (5^2)(10)+(2)(\frac{1}{3})\pi (5^2)(5)=(\frac{4}{3})(250)\pi

which is approximately equal to 1,047.2 cubic feet.

<u>The final answer is D.</u>

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

10 hours (I am not positive)

Step-by-step explanation:

We first want to find the volume of pool which is 30 x 18 x 4 = 2160.

Then you are going to divide by 216 to find how many hours it takes to drain the whole pool. (I'm not that big of an expert)
