You can put this solution on YOUR website! While you are moving grain from your truck to your silo, you are 45 feet
away from the silo and the angle of elevation to the top of the silo is
45 degrees.
While pondering how interesting that is, you are joined by your
neighbor who ones to know how much grain you can hold in our silo.
Determine the volume of your silo, in cubic feet, so that you can answer his question.
:
Find the height of the silo using the tangent of 45 degrees
we know that = 1
tan(45) = h/45
h = 45
We have to know the radius of the silo to do this.
V =
