A grain silo is shown below:

Answer: 13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!!!

Find the volume of the bottom and top separately and then add them. Cylinder volume is the area of the bottom times the height (22/7)(5^2)•175=13750 ft^3

The volume of a sphere isV=(4/3)(22/7)r^3where r is the radius.  also 5 since it fits on the cylinder. Also we only want half the sphere so useV=(2/3)(22/7)•5^3=261.9 ft^3 round upto 262. Now add  together 13750+262=14,012 ft^3

Hope this helps~!!!!!
