To calculate the volume of a water tower, we need to know its shape. If we assume the water tower is cylindrical, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( V \) is the volume
- \( r \) is the radius
- \( h \) is the height
Given:
- Height \( h = 25 \) meters
- Width (diameter) = 16 meters, so the radius \( r = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \) meters
Now we can plug in the values:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (8^2) \times 25 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 64 \times 25 \] \[ V = 3.14 \times 1600 \] \[ V = 5024 , \text{cubic meters} \]
Thus, the volume of the water tower is 5,024 cubic meters.
So the correct response is 5,024 cubic meters.
