The problem asks to find the volume of a circular silo with a diameter of 15.7 feet, filled to a height of 20 feet. The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

Where:
- \( r \) is the radius (half the diameter),
- \( h \) is the height of the grain in the silo,
- \( \pi \) is given as 3.14.

Let's break it down:
- The diameter is 15.7 feet, so the radius \( r \) is:
  \[
  r = \frac{15.7}{2} = 7.85 \text{ feet}
  \]
- The height \( h \) is 20 feet.

Now, we can calculate the volume:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (7.85)^2 \times 20
\]

I will compute the result.The volume of the grains in the silo is approximately 3,869.9 cubic feet when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Would you like further details or have any other questions?

Here are some related questions to explore further:
1. How would the volume change if the height of the grains was doubled?
2. What is the volume if the diameter of the silo were 20 feet instead of 15.7 feet?
3. How do you convert the volume from cubic feet to gallons?
4. What is the effect of using a more precise value for \( \pi \), like 3.14159?
5. How much grain can the silo hold if it were filled completely to the top, given the current dimensions?

**Tip:** When working with cylindrical shapes, always ensure the radius and height are correctly identified, as confusing diameter with radius can double the error in volume calculations!

A farmer has a circular silo that has a diameter of 15.7 feet. If the farmer fills the silo with grains to a level of 20 feet, how many cubic feet of grains are in the silo? Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
