A water tower has a height of 25 meters and a width of 16 meters. What is the volume of the water tower? Use 3.14 for pi.
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula: V = πr²h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Since the water tower has a width of 16 meters, its radius is half of that: r = 16/2 = 8 meters.
The height of the water tower is 25 meters: h = 25 meters.
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the volume:
V = 3.14 * (8 meters)² * 25 meters
= 3.14 * 64 meters² * 25 meters
= 3.14 * 1600 meters²
= 5024 meters³
Therefore, the volume of the water tower is 5024 cubic meters.
