    Refer to the diagram shown below.

    The diameter of the semi-circular arch is 15 yards, and its radius is 7.5 yards.

    Calculate the area of the cross-section (a rectangle and a semicircle).

    A = (15) (5) + (1/2) * π * (7.5²)

    = 75 + 0.5*3.14*56.25

    = 163.3125 yd²

    The volume is the area times the length.

    The volume is

    V = 163.3125*30

    = 4899.375 yd³

    Answer: 4899.38 yd³ (nearest hundredth)
