You are filming a scene that will involve cars racing around a track. To separate the lanes for each car, you need to use 5 cone shaped dividers at the starting line. Since the scene is outside and it is windy and you do not want the cones to blow away, you will fill them with dirt. Each cone has a diameter of 2 feet and is 5 feet tall. How much dirt do you need in order to completely fill all 5 cones? Use 22/7 for π and round the answer to the nearest foot.
