Question

a. what is the volume of the cylindrical part of the silo? round to the nearest cubic foot. 5027 ft³ b. what is the volume of the conical part of the silo? round to the nearest cubic foot. 402 ft³ c. what is the volume of the entire silo? round to the nearest cubic foot. ft³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the volume of the entire silo

The volume of the entire silo is the sum of the volume of the cylindrical part and the conical part.

Step2: Calculate the volume of the entire silo

Let \(V_{cylinder} = 5027\space ft^{3}\) and \(V_{cone}=402\space ft^{3}\). Then \(V = V_{cylinder}+V_{cone}\)

$$V=5027 + 402$$

$$V = 5429$$

Answer:

\(5429\space ft^{3}\)
