Farmer John stores grain in a large silo located at the edge of his farm. The cylinder-shaped silo has one flat, rectangular face that rests against the side of his barn. The height of the silo is 30 feet and the face resting against the barn is 10 feet wide. If the barn is approximately 5 feet from the center of the silo, determine the capacity of Farmer John’s silo in cubic feet of grain.
We know the equation for the volume a of a cylinder is v= (r)(pi)(h) where v= volume, r= radius, pi=3.14159..., h=height diameter=10feet= 5 foot radius (d=1/2 radius) height is 30feet so just plug into the equation and solve for volume v= 471.24cubic feet......however!....this is for a full cyclinder this silo is only half a cylinder so divide the volume by 2 v= 235.62 cubic feet Good Luck! hope this helped
