Answer:

Helloo.

Explanation:

Because this question is asking how much water the water tower can hold, it's asking for the volume of a cylindrical figure. Let's use this formula:

V

=

π

r

2

h

First, let's find our variables by plugging in our information.

r

=

(

1

2

)

d

r

=

(

1

2

)

20

r

=

10

h

=

24

V

=

π

(

10

2

)

(

24

)

Following PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract), we'll find

(

10

2

)

first.

V

=

π

(

100

)

(

24

)

Now, multiply (100) and (24):

V

=

π

(

2400

)

V

=

2400
