Question 225288: I have a square with 48ft sides what is the area of the base of the largest circular grain bin i can construct. i have the answer but cant figure it out. The first thing i did is 48ft squared it to give me 2304ftsq then im lost Answer by nerdybill(5404) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of the bottom of the cylinder:
(pi)r^2
where
pi is 3.14
r is radius
.
The biggest radius would be half the 48 ft thus
r = 24 feet
.
Area of bottom of cylinder:
(pi)r^2
(3.14)24^2
1808.64 square feet
