Anahi · Answer 1

We can solve for the maximum of grain the silo can hold by using the formula shown below:

Volume = pi*r²*h where "r" for the radius and "h" for the height

The given values are enumerated such as:

r = 10 feet

h = 90 feet

Solving for the volume:

Volume = 3.14*10²*90

Volume = 28,260 feet²

The answer is the letter "C".
