Answer:

volume of redwood tree is 6400 π ft^3(option 4)

Explanation:

concept =

volume of cylinder = πr^2l

where r is the radius and l is the length of cylinder

circumference of cylinder = 2πr

_____________________________________

shape of redwood tree can be taken as cylindrical

given

circumference of a redwood tree trunk is 16π ft

2πr = 16π

=> r = 16π/2π = 8

Thus, radius is 8 feet

Therefore volume of redwood tree = πr^2l = π8^2*100 = π*64*100

volume of redwood tree =6400 π ft^3
