Sand for use on icy roads is stored in a conical pile 14.2 m high and with a base diameter of 34.4 m calculate the volume of the pile if one sander can take 6.9 m of sand, how many sanders can be filled from the pile

1. The volume of the pile is 4,399.7719 m^3

2. The number of sanders to be filled from a pile is 638

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we firstly would calculate the volume of the pile

Mathematically, that will be;

V = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

from the question, h = 14.2

Mathematically, r = d/2

r = 34.4/2 = 17.2 m

So the volume will be:

V = 1/3 * 3.142 * 17.2^2 * 14.2

V = 4,399.7719 m^3

To find the number of sanders to be filled,

we simply divide the volume obtained by the volume a sander can take

That will be;

4,399.7719/6.9

= 637.6 which is 638

b is the answer that makes most sense
