Sand from a quarry pours out from a giant hose and forms a conical heap on the ground.
The heap has a base diameter of 25 m and a height of 8:9 m.
a Find the volume of sand in the heap to the nearest m3 .
b Find the total mass (to the nearest 10 tonne) of the sand given that 1 m3 of it
weighs 2:35 tonnes.
The diameter is 25 m, so r = 12:5 .
The height is 8:9 m, so h = 8:9 .
