Question 875365: a barn silo consists of a cylinder with a hemisphere on top. the cylinder has a height of 25m and a diameter of 10m what is the capacity of the silo? leave answer in tearms of pie.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)pir^3
=(2/3)pi*5^3
=83.33 pi
Volume of cylinder = pi * r^2*h
=pi*5^2*25
=625 pi
add up both
