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 p
To find the volume of the water tower, we need to calculate the volume of a cylinder. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V = πr^2h
where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the width (diameter) of the water tower is 16 meters, we can calculate the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:
r = 16 / 2 = 8 meters
Now, we can substitute the radius and height values into the formula to calculate the volume of the water tower:
V = 3.14 * 8^2 * 25
V = 3.14 * 64 * 25
V = 5024 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the water tower is 5024 cubic meters.
