A water tower has a height of 25 meters and a width of 16 meters. What is the volume of the water tower?
a. 7,850 cubic meters
b. 5,024 cubic meters
c. 20,096 cubic meters
d. 15,700 cubic meters
The volume of a rectangular prism can be found by multiplying its length, width, and height.
In this case, the height of the water tower is 25 meters and the width is 16 meters. We are not given the length, but based on the information given, it is reasonable to assume that it is also 16 meters (as water towers are often cylindrical or roughly cylindrical in shape).
Therefore, the volume of the water tower is 16 * 16 * 25 = 6,400 cubic meters.
None of the provided answer choices match this volume, so none of the options given are correct.
just provide the closest answer
The closest answer would be a. 7,850 cubic meters.
To find the volume of the water tower, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism, which is given by V = lwh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.
In this case, the length of the water tower is not specified. However, assuming the water tower is a rectangular prism, we can assume the length is equal to the width.
So, the volume of the water tower is V = 16 * 16 * 25 = 6,400 cubic meters.
None of the given answer choices match the calculated volume of the water tower, so it seems there may be an error in the answer choices.
