An old water tower is a cylinder shaped turret on top. Measurements taken from the outside find that the tower has a diameter of 12 feet, the cylindrical portion has a height of 30 feet, and the conical top has a slant height of 10 feet. What is the volume of water that the tower can hold? (Assume the thickness of the walls is insignificant.)
