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
1. 15,700 cubic meters
2. 7,850 cubic meters
3. 20,096 cubic meters
4. 5,024 cubic meters
The volume of a rectangular prism (which represents the water tower) is given by the formula 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 given, so we assume it to be equal to the width, making it a cube. Therefore, l = w = 16 meters, and h = 25 meters.
Now we can substitute these values into the formula to find the volume:
V = 16 * 16 * 25
V = 6400 cubic meters
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. 5,024 cubic meters.
