Answer 1

The gallons needed to paint the silo is 10.

How many gallons is needed to paint the silo?

A cylinder is a three-dimensional object. It is a prism with a circular base. The total surface area of cylinder can be determined by adding the area of all its faces.

Total surface area of the cylinder excluding its base = 2πrh +πr²

Where:

• r = radius
• h = height

TSA = (2 x 3.14 x 10 x 30) + (3.14 x 10²)

314 + 1884 = 2198 ft²

Number of gallons needed = 2198 / 224 = 9.81 = 10 gallons
