Question

a grain silo has a cylindrical shape. its radius is 7.5 ft, and its height is 35 ft. what is the volume of the s
use the value 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is \( V=\pi r^{2}h \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \( r = 7.5\) ft and \( h=35\) ft, and using \( \pi = 3.14\).
