we know that
the volume of a cone is equal to

in this problem
the radius is equal to

1) <u>Find the height of the cone before the storm</u>
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height





2) <u>Find the volume before the storm</u>


3) <u>Find the volume after the storm</u>
After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions
so
r=(56/3) ft
h=(33/3)=11 ft


<u>4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile</u>
Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

therefore
<u>the answer part a) is</u>
The volume of the pile after the storm is
times the original volume
<u>Part b)</u> Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt
5) <u>Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm</u>

6) <u>Find the pounds of road salt used</u>
7) <u>Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt</u>
therefore
<u>the answer part b) is</u>
the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is 
<u>Part c) </u>How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile
the remaining salt is equal to 

8) <u>Find the pounds of road salt </u>

9) <u>Find the number of lane miles </u>

therefore
<u>the answer part c) is</u>
the number of lane miles is
