A farmer has three silos. The largest silo has a diameter of 24 feet. The radius of the smallest silo is one-thrid as big as the diameter of the largest. The middle sized silo has a radius that is 2 feet greater than the radius of the smallest silo. What is the circumference of each silo?

Respuesta :

The circumference of the largest silo is 75.398 feet, the circumference of the middle sized silo is 37.70 feet and the circumference of the smallest silo is 25.132 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                 A farmer has three silos

                 Radius of Largest silo = 12 feet

                 Radius of middle size silo = 6 feet

                 Radius of smallest silo = 4 feet

Step:1

          Formula for circumference,

                [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]

           where, r - Radius

Step:2

           Circumference of Largest silo,

                     [tex]C=2 \pi (12)[/tex]

                         [tex]= 75.398[/tex] feet

           Circumference of Largest silo = 75.398 feet

Step:3

           Circumference of Middle size silo,

                     [tex]C=2 \pi (6)[/tex]

                         [tex]= 37.699[/tex] feet

          Circumference of middle size silo = 37.699 feet

Step:4

            Circumference of smallest silo,

                     [tex]C=2 \pi (4)[/tex]

                         [tex]= 25.132[/tex] feet

            Circumference of smallest silo = 25.132 feet

Result:

            The circumference of the largest silo is 75.398 feet, the circumference of the middle sized silo is 37.70 feet and the circumference of the smallest silo is 25.132 feet.
