The larger silo is 6782.4 ft³ greater than the smaller silo
Explanation:
We need to find the volume of both silos
The silos are cylindrical.
Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
Shorter silo :
π = 3.14
r = radius = 18ft
h = height = 20ft
Volume of the shorter silo = 3.14 × 18² × 20
Volume of the shorter silo = 20347.2 ft³
Taller silo:
r = radius = 12ft
h = height = 30ft
Volume of the taller silo = 3.14 × 12² × 30
Volume of the taller silo = 13564.8 ft³
Difference in volume = 20347.2 ft³ - 13564.8 ft³
Difference in volume = 6782.4 ft³
The larger silo is 6782.4 ft³ greater than the smaller silo
