For a cylinder, the volume can be calculated using the formula:


V=\pi r^2h

Where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. From the problem, we identify:


\begin{gathered} r=(16)/(2)=8\text{ yd} \\ \\ h=10\text{ yd} \end{gathered}

Then, using these values to calculate the volume of the cylinder:


\begin{gathered} V=\pi(8)^2(10)=\pi(64)(10)=640\pi \\ \\ \therefore V=2011\text{ yd}^3 \end{gathered}
