To calculate the volume of the water tower, assuming it's in the shape of a cylinder, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
Where:
- \( V \) = volume
- \( \pi \) = 3.14 (as given)
- \( r \) = radius of the cylinder
- \( h \) = height of the cylinder
From the information provided:
- Height (\( h \)) = 25 meters
- Width = 16 meters, which gives a diameter of 16 meters. Therefore, the radius (\( r \)) is half of the diameter:
\[ r = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \text{ meters} \]
Now, we can plug the values into the volume formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h = 3.14 \times (8)^2 \times 25 \]
Calculating the radius squared:
\[ 8^2 = 64 \]
Now multiplying:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 64 \times 25 \]
Calculating \( 64 \times 25 \):
\[ 64 \times 25 = 1600 \]
Now we calculate the volume:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 1600 = 5024 \]
So, the volume of the water tower is 5,024 cubic meters.
Therefore, the correct response is 5,024 cubic meters.
