Question from Ami, a student: A silo is composed of a hemisphere and a cylinder. The total height for the silo is 20m and the diameter of the silo is 8m. What is the volume of the silo to the nearest cubic meter? |
Hi,
Here is a picture of a silo composed of a hemisphere and a cylinder
The diameter of the cylinder and hence the diameter of the hemisphere is 8 m. What is the radius of the hemisphere? What is the height of the cylinder? What is the volume of the cylinder? What is the volume of the hemisphere?
