Pre-cal question?

A silo is in the shape of a right circular cylinder with a hemispherical cap. Determine the radius r of the silo if the height of the silo is 25 ft. and the volume is 935 ft^3 . Write a function for the volume of the silo in terms of the radius.

Answer:

V = pi*(r^2)*h + (2/3)*pi*(r^2) just plug in for height and volume to solve for radius I got r^2 = ~36.43
