Question

Danielle is planning a vacation and needs to purchase enough feed to fill the barrel in her pasture so that her horses will not be hungry while she is away. If the feed barrel is 10 feet high with a radius of 3 feet, what is the approximate volume of feed the barrel can hold?

Please show your work.
Thanks

Answer 2

The approximate volume of feed the barrel can hold is:
`282.74ft^3`

Explanation:

You need to use the formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder. This is:

`V=\pi r^2h`

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height of the cylinder.

You know that the feed barrel is 10 feet high with a radius of 3 feet. Therefore:

`r=3ft\\h=10ft`

Finally, you need to substitute the value of the height and the value fo the radius into the formula
`V=\pi r^2h`.:

`V=\pi (3ft)^2(10ft)`

You get that the approximate volume of feed the barrel can hold is:

`V`≈
`282.74ft^3`
