Question

1) Find the volume of the grain silo shown to the nearest cubic foot. 29 ft 18 ft 7 ft 2) Suppose you have planted 360 acres of corn on your farm and expect to produce about 140 bushels of shelled corn per acre. A bushel is a unit with volume equal to about 1.25 cubic feet. How many silos, each the size of the one in the example above, would it take to store your entire crop. Reasoning: Do the two solids have the same or different volumes? Explain without doing the math

Step 1

Given dimensions: - Cylinder: height = 29 ft, diameter = 18 ft - Cone: height = 7 ft, diameter = 18 ft Volume of cylinder = πr^2h = π(9 ft)^2(29 ft) = 243π ft^3 Volume of cone = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)π(9 ft)^2(7 ft) = 189π ft^3 Total volume = Volume of cylinder + Show more…
