Using a 10' long piece of strut as a straightedge, you are trying to determine the outside diameter of a grain storage silo. You and your partner very carefully measure from the ends of the straightedge, squarely, in to the wall of the silo and find that the “H” distance is 14 3/4" at both ends. What is the radius of the silo in inches? Note: The values calculated for this question may be used for additional questions. (Round the answer to the nearest 1/8".)

The radius of the silo is the distance from its center to the outside wall

The radius of the silo is 7 3/8" or 7 3/8 inches

How to determine the radius?

From the question, we have the following parameters:

  • Length of strut = 10'
  • Outside diameter of silo = 14 3/4"

The radius is then calculated as:

Radius = 0.5 * Diameter

This gives

Radius = 0.5 * 14 3/4"

Evaluate the product

Radius = 7 3/8"

Hence, the radius of the silo is 7 3/8" or 7 3/8 inches
