Atraditional “square” bale of hay is actually in the shape of a rectangular prism. its dimensions are 2 feet by 2 feet by 4 feet. how many square bales contain the same amount of hay as one large “round” bale?

First, lets find out the volume of the square bale...

The formula for the volume of a rectangular prism is:

V=l*w*h         where l=length  w=width  h=height

This is the data that we are told in the problem for the square bale.

l=2ft
w=2ft
h=4ft

Lets plug the data into the formula to find the volume of a rectangular prism...

V=l*w*h
V=2*2*4
V(square)=16 ft³

Now lets solve for the volume of the round bale, which is a cylinder shape...The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:

V=πr²*h     where r=radius and h=height of the cylinder

This is the data that we know from the problem.

h=4ft
d=5ft

in this equation for the volume, we don't need the diameter, but the radius of the circle, so lets solve for the radius

d=2r      where d=diameter   and r=radius
5=2r
divide both sides by 2
2.5ft=r

Now we can solve for the volume of the round bale
Volume(round)=πr²*h
Volume(round)=π2.5²*4
Volume(round)=6.25π*4
Volume(round)=25π
Volume(round)=78.5398163397
round to the nearest tenth
Volume(round)=78.5

To find out how many square bales make up a round bale we use the expression

v(round)/v(square)
78.5/16=4.9

4.9 square bales contain the same amount of hay as one square bale

I'm not going to write 150 words lol, but i will you with giving you examples of how they kept the animal population from revolting. napoleon made a list of rules, and told everyone how "important they are even though he was known to break them and then have them changed by the only animal who could read on the farm. none of the animals were intelligent enough to read, so they never knew if they had been changed or not which was an advantage to napoleon. napoleon constantly reminded them that if they revolted they would have to go back to mr. jones' way of things, which in retrospect was "worse" (wasn't really worse though, he was just saying that to intimidate since he didn't wanna lose his power). one of the main reasons they revolted in the first place was food, and of course if they revolt napoleon will not share food with them.
