A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. Its diameter is 17ft , and its height is 51ft. What is the volume of grain that can be stored in the silo?(Use the value for 3.14 for pie, and round your answer to the nearest cubic foot. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.)
pie*radius*2*height= volume 3.14*8.5*2*51= volume
The formula for volume of a cylinder is V=pi*r^2*h r=d/2=17/2=8.5 ft h=51 ft V=3.14*8.5^2*51 V=11570.115 V=11570 cu ft
