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 15,700 cubic meters 15,700 cubic meters 20,096 cubic meters 20,096 cubic meters
The volume of a cylinder (which has the shape of a water tower) is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius of the base of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.
Given that the height of the water tower is 25 meters and the width is 16 meters (which is actually the diameter), we need to divide the width by 2 to get the radius.
Radius (r) = 16 / 2 = 8 meters
Height (h) = 25 meters
Now we can calculate the volume using the formula:
V = 3.14 * (8)^2 * 25
V = 3.14 * 64 * 25
V = 3.14 * 1600
V = 5024 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the water tower is 5024 cubic meters.
