Atown's public works department has ordered sand to spread on roadways during the upcoming winter snows. the delivered sand forms a right cone 36 feet high and a base diameter of 60 feet. how many cubic yards of sand has the department received?

1256 cubic yards of sand.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have to find the volume of cone formed by sand.

Height of the cone is = 36 feet

Radius of the cone = 60/2 =30 feet.

Now we know the formula of volume of cone v = π r² (h/3)

By putting the values of r and h we can get the volume of sand to spread.

Volume = π×(30)²×(36/3) = 3.14×900×12 feet³

              = 33912 feet³

Now we will convert feet³ to cubic yards

Since 1 cubic feet = .037037 cubic yards

therefore 33912 cubic feet = 33912×.037 = 1256 cubic yards.

So the answer is 1256 cubic yards of sand has the department received.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
