A farmer stores corn in a silo. The cylinder-shaped silo has one flat rectangular shaped face that rests against the side of a barn. The height of the silo is 30 feet and the face resting against the barn is 10 feet wide. If the barn is about 5 feet from the center of the silo, what is the capacity of the silo in cubic feet?

That looks perfect to me. Personally, I'd leave it as an exact answer instead of trying to decimalise the π, so I'd give it as 1125π + 750. But either way is right.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Cylindrical coordinates anyone? Anyone? This is only if you know calculus, which I'm probably gonna guess you don't.
Take the cylinder, integrate it from the sides of each triangle (where each side is actually the radius of the cylinder). Then take the area of the triangular block, add, and you're done.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
