The silo can hold 1152(pie) cubic feet of grain. The diameter of the silo is 12ft.1. Given that the volume of a cylinder is V=pie(r^2)h and the volume of a sphere is V=4/3(PIE)r^3, write a formula for the volume of the silo2. What is the height of the silo.Could you please help because I do not understand. I would go to tutoring but my bus gets late to school. Also if you could explain the best you can please and thank you.
The radius of cylinder and hemisphere is 6 ft. Total combined volume is V = 1152π ft? If the volume of a sphere is 4πr?
About half the silos I am aware of have cone shaped tops. But yes you should assume that the top of the silo is capped with a half-sphere of the same diameter as the cylinder. volume = cylinder volume + ?volume of sphere with that radius (or diameter, what ever).
