An image shows a cylinder (haybale) with a height of 5 ft and a diameter of 4
Farmer Ted bales large round bales of hay to store in his barn for winter feeding. How much hay is in a round bale, in terms of π ?

To calculate the volume of the cylinder (hay bale), we use the formula:
Volume = πr^2h
Given that the diameter of the hay bale is 4 feet, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 2 feet.
Height (h) = 5 feet.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Volume = π(2)^2(5)
Volume = π(4)(5)
Volume = 20π
Therefore, there are 20π cubic feet of hay in a round bale.
