The sand used for sanding icy roads in the winter is stored in a conical-shaped structure with a radius of 10 m
and a height of 16 m. Calculate the maximum amount of sand which can be stored in this structure.

Answer:

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot 10^2 \cdot 16) \\\\V = \frac{1}{3} (1600 \pi ) \\\\V = 1675.52 \: m^3[/tex]

The maximum amount of sand that can be stored in this structure is 1675.52 m³.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a conical-shaped structure is given by

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h)[/tex]

Where r is the radius and h is the height of the structure.

We are given that

radius = 10m

height = 16m

Substituting the above values into the formula, we get

[tex]V = \frac{1}{3} (\pi \cdot 10^2 \cdot 16) \\\\V = \frac{1}{3} (1600 \pi ) \\\\V = 1675.52 \: m^3[/tex]

Therefore, the maximum amount of sand th can be stored in this structure is 1675.52 m³.
