Question

A farmer is building a new silo. The circular silo is 27 meters tall and has a radius of 14 meters. What is the area of the base of the silo? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

Answer:

615.44m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the silo is a circle

Rea of the base of the silo = πr²

r is the radius of the silo

Given

radius r = 14m

Area of the base of the silo = π(14)²

Area of the base of the silo = 3.14(196)

Area of the base of the silo = 615.44

Hence the area of the base of the silo is 615.44m²
