to find the volume of the slios, or anything round, you need to know the formula, which is:

$${\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{r}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{h}}$$

first, we will do area

radius as you know is half of the diameter

so divide 10 by 2=5

5^2=25

so, $${\mathtt{25}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{\pi}} = {\mathtt{78.539\: \!816\: \!34}}$$

now lets times it by 20 meters, for 20 meters is the height

$${\mathtt{78.539\: \!816\: \!34}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{20}} = {\mathtt{1\,570.796\: \!326\: \!794\: \!896\: \!62}}$$

most accurate answer: 1570.79632679489662 meters

rounded answer (to the nearest whole number):1571 meters

That is excellent Heather , all except you forgot that the units are  $$m^3$$
