A storage bin consists of a cylindrical section for storing grain, with a conical roof.
\n" ); document.write( " The height of the roof is one-third of the total height and the radius is 10 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of the storage bin is 1000 cubic feet. Find the height.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the height of roof
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x = the height of the cylindrical section
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "3x = the total height
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cylinder Vol + Cone vol = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A10%5E2%2A2x\" + \"1%2F3\"\"pi%2A10%5E2%2Ax\" = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A200x\" + \"1%2F3\"\"pi%2A100x\" = 1000
\n" ); document.write( "Divide thru by 100
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A2x\" + \"1%2F3\"\"pi%2Ax\" = 10
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 3 to get rid of the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28pi%2A2x%29\" + \"pi%2Ax\" = 30
\n" ); document.write( "\"6pi%2Ax%29\" + \"pi%2Ax\" = 30
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "\"7pi%2Ax\" = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"30%2F%287pi%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1.364 ft is the height of the roof
\n" ); document.write( "3*1.364 ~4.1 ft is the height of the bin
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This sounds kind of small, check it,
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2A10%5E2%2A2.73\" = 857 cu/ft, cylindrical part
