A farmer has a cylindrical silo he uses to store corn. The silo has a height of 50 feet and a radius of 12 feet. How many cubic feet of corn can the silo hold? Use 3.14 for pi.

Respuesta :

Answer:

22, 608 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:  

V = (pi) r squared  times h

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The amount of corn in cubic feet that the farmer's silo can hold is 7200π ft³ or 22,619.467 ft³.

What is volume?

A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.

Suppose that the radius of a right circular cylinder is 'r' units. And let its height be 'h' units.

Then, its volume is given as:

V = π × r² × h

The right circular cylinder is the cylinder in which the line joining centre of top circle of the cylinder to the centre of the base circle of the cylinder is perpendicular to the surface of its base, and to the top.

Given that the silo has a height of 50 feet and a radius of 12 feet. Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical silo can be written as,

The volume of the silo = π × r² × h

                                      = π × (12 ft)² × 50ft

                                      = 7200π ft³

                                      = 22,619.467 ft³

Hence, the amount of corn in cubic feet that the farmer's silo can hold is 7200π ft³ or 22,619.467 ft³.
