Answer:

Volume of the silo is 7772 cubic ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A grain Silo is cylindrical in shape.

Height  (h) = 44 ft.

Diameter (d) = 15 ft.

[tex]\pi  = 3.14[/tex]

We need to find the Volume of silo.

We will first find the radius.

Radius can be given as half of diameter.

hence Radius (r) = [tex]\frac{d}{2} =\frac{15}{2}=7.5ft.[/tex]

Since Silo is in Cylindrical Shape we will find the volume of cylinder.

Now We know that Volume of cylinder can be calculate by multiplying π with square of the radius and height.

Volume of Cylinder = [tex]\pi r^2h = 3.14\times(7.5)^2\times44 = 7771.5 ft^3[/tex]

Rounding to nearest whole number we get;

Hence,Volume of Silo is [tex]7772 \ ft^3[/tex].
