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.(1 point) Responses 5,024 cubic meters 5,024 cubic meters 7,850 cubic meters 7,850 cubic meters 20,096 cubic meters 20,096 cubic meters 15,700 cubic meters
The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder, such as a water tower, is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.
Given that the width of the water tower is 16 meters, the radius would be half of that, so r = 8 meters. The height is 25 meters.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = 3.14 x (8)^2 x 25
V = 3.14 x 64 x 25
V = 3.14 x 1600
V = 5024 cubic meters.
Therefore, the volume of the water tower is 5,024 cubic meters.
