A farmer plans to build the small silo shown to store chicken feed. What is the circumference of the base of the silo if it can hold a maximum of 132 cubic feet of feed?

Respuesta :

The circumference of the base of the silo that can hold a maximum of 132 cubic feet of feed is approximately 28.796 feet.

How to determine the circumference of the base of a silo

The circumference is the measure of the contour of a circle. In this question we have to determine the radio of the base of the cone from the volume formula and later the circumference is found by this finding:

Volume

V = (π/3) · R² · h     (1)

Circumference

s = 2π · R     (2)

Where:

  • R - Radius of the base, in feet
  • h - Height of the silo, in feet

If we know that V = 132 ft³, h = 6 ft, then the circumference that can hold the given capacity is:

[tex]R = \sqrt{\frac{3\cdot V}{\pi \cdot h} }[/tex]    

[tex]R = \sqrt{\frac{3\cdot (132\,ft^{3})}{\pi\cdot (6\,ft)} }[/tex]

R ≈ 4.583 ft

s = 2π · (4.583 ft)

s ≈ 28.796 ft

The circumference of the base of the silo that can hold a maximum of 132 cubic feet of feed is approximately 28.796 feet. [tex]\blacksquare[/tex]
