A

25m

B

23m

C

22m

D

20m

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

The volume of a cylinder is given by:

\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]

Where \(V\) is volume, \(r\) is radius, and \(h\) is height.

Given diameter = 14 m, so radius \( r = 7 \, m \)

Substitute values:

\[ 3080 = \pi \times 7^2 \times h \]

\[ 3080 = 49\pi h \]

\[ h = \frac{3080}{49\pi} \approx 20 \, m \]
