    D) 100,000 cubic feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The circumference of a circle is calculated as:

    circumference = 2*π*r

    Replacing with data and solving for r (radius of the silo):

    125.7 = 2*π*r

    r = 125.7 / (2*π)

    r = 20 ft

    The volume of a cylindrical silo is:

    volume = π*r²*h + 2*r³*π/3

    where h refers to silo's high. Replacing with data and solving:

    volume = π*20²*70 + 2*20³*π/3

    volume = 104,719.755 ft³ ≈ 100,000 cubic feet
