Answer:

The tank can hold water 172,857.14 cubic feet

Explanation:

Given that the shape is cylindrical, the amount of water it can hold may be determined using the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

The volume V of a cylinder whose base radius r and height is h is given as

V = Pir^2h where Pi is 22/7

Given that the height of the tank is 88 feet and the radius is 25 feet, then the volume V

= 22/7 * 25^2 *88

= 172,857.14 cubic feet
