A cone shaped pile 2008-10-10
From Nadine:
I have a pile of wheat in the shape of a cone. I would like to know how much wheat I have. I have found the equation "V=1/3 pie r squared h" , but it dosn't work! The pile is 7 feet high, diameter is 50 feet, circumference is 185 feet. I also measured the slope 19feet. (Probably not needed) You need to know that wheat weighs 60 pounds per bushel, and I would like to know how many bushels I have. Even if I could receive the # of Volume Bushels, I could convert that. Can you help me??
