Question 1118885
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The volume of a cylinder is:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ V_{cyl}\ =\ \pi{r^2}h]


Where *[tex \Large r] is the radius of the cylinder and *[tex \Large h] is the height of the cylinder.  Remember that the radius is one-half of the diameter.


I cannot tell you how to calculate the total volume of the grain silo with any certainty because you did not specify the shape and measurements of the top of the silo.  In the case that the silo has a flat top such that the total volume of the cylinder is represented by the cylindrical portion, then the total volume is given by the calculation above.  On the other hand, if the top is either a conical shape or a spherical segment, then additional calculations need to be made and you did not provide complete information for me to be able to deal with such cases.


In any case, you have the honor and pleasure of doing your own arithmetic.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
