Answer:

The answer is b. 343,480.8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought it was c at first because I forgot to add the volume of the cone.

The equation for the volume of a cylinder is V=π×r²×h

The solution would look like V=π40²×65=326725.8

The equation for the volume of a cone is V=1/3πr²×h

The solution would look like V=1/3π×40²×10=16755

Adding the two volumes would equal 326725.8±16755= 343480.8
