The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = pi * radius^2 * height

From the information given,

the circumference of the circular base = 16 * pi

We know that

circumference = 2 * pi * radius

Thus, 2 * pi * radius = 16 * pi

pi cancels out on both sides of the equation. It becomes

2 * radius = 16

radius = 16/2 = 8

Recall, pi = 3.14

Height = 5

Thus,

Volume = 3.14 * 8^2 * 5

Volume = 1004.8

Thus, the closest measurement is 1005.3 cm^3

The first option is correct
