1. **State the problem:** Find the volume of a cylinder with height $16$ feet and diameter $10$ feet. 2. **Formula for the volume of a cylinder:** $$V = \pi r^2 h$$ where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height. 3. **Calculate the radius:** The diameter is $10$ feet, so the radius is half of that: $$r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ feet}$$ 4. **Substitute values into the formula:** $$V = \pi \times 5^2 \times 16 = \pi \times 25 \times 16$$ 5. **Calculate the volume:** $$V = 400\pi$$ Using $\pi \approx 3.1416$, $$V \approx 400 \times 3.1416 = 1256.64 \text{ cubic feet}$$ 6. **Compare with given options:** None of the options exactly match $1256.64$, so check if the diameter was interpreted correctly or if the problem expects a different approach. Since the problem states diameter $10$ feet and height $16$ feet, the volume is $1256.64$ cubic feet, which is not among the options. **Note:** The options given are much larger, so possibly the diameter is $10$ feet and height $16$ feet, but the problem might have used radius $10$ feet instead. **Recalculate with radius $10$ feet:** $$V = \pi \times 10^2 \times 16 = \pi \times 100 \times 16 = 1600\pi$$ $$V \approx 1600 \times 3.1416 = 5026.55 \text{ cubic feet}$$ Still no exact match. Try diameter $16$ feet and height $10$ feet: $$r = \frac{16}{2} = 8$$ $$V = \pi \times 8^2 \times 10 = \pi \times 64 \times 10 = 640\pi$$ $$V \approx 640 \times 3.1416 = 2010.62$$ No match. Try height $10$ feet and diameter $16$ feet: $$r=8$$ $$V=\pi \times 8^2 \times 10=640\pi=2010.62$$ No match.
