Question 871920: If the total volume of the silo (including the part inside the roof section) is 18000 ft3 and the cylindrical part is 50 ft tall, what is the radius of the silo?
Volume of a Cylinder =πr^2h
Volume of a Sphere =(4/3)πr^3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are stuck because the bottom part of the silo is a cone, and NOT a sphere. The volume for a cone would be near to %281%2F3%29pi%2Ar%5E3.
