Help with geometry probs ?

A silo is shaped like a cylinder with a cone on top. The radii of the bases of the cylinder and cone are both equal to 8 feet. The height of the cylindrical part is 25 feet and the height of the cone is 6 feet.a. What is the volume of the cylindrical part of the silo? Round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.b. What is the volume of the conical part of the silo? Round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.c. What is the volume of the entire silo? Round your answer to the nearest cubic foot.

Answer:

^2 means squared pi = 3.1415926 Volume of a cylinder = height x pi x (radius^2) volume of a cone = (1/3) x height x pi x (radius^2)
