Question:

A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. Its diameter is 11.19m and its height is 24.62m.?

What is the volume of the silo? Round your answer to the nearest 1 m^3

Answer:

V = pi * r^2 * h V = pi * (d/2)^2 * h V = pi * (11.19/2)^2 * 24.62 V = 770.7050955 * pi V =~ 2421 m^3
The volume of a cylinder is pi x radius squared x height so V = (3.14) x ((11.19/2)^2) x 24.62 = 2420 m^3
