uhm thats not right
Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the correct volume of the water tower.
To find the volume of a cylinder (which the water tower resembles), you use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Since the width of the water tower is given (16 meters) and the radius is half of the width (8 meters), we can plug in the values:
V = 3.14 * (8^2) * 25
V = 3.14 * 64 * 25
V = 5024 cubic meters
Therefore, the correct volume of the water tower is 5,024 cubic meters.
