To find the volume of a Cylinder, we would use this formula: V= πr^2h
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 ?
(1 point)
10π ft^3
20π ft^3
40π ft^3
80π ft^3
The volume of a cylinder (which a round bale of hay can be approximated as) is given by V= πr^2h. Farmer Ted's round bale of hay can be represented as a cylinder, where the radius is r and the height is h.
Therefore, the amount of hay in a round bale, in terms of π, is V = πr^2h = π(5)^2(2) = 10π ft^3
Therefore, the correct answer is 10π ft^3.
