It's incomplete. You haven't told us what shape the top 5m of the tower is (dome, pyramid etc)

It sounds like a square building 20 meters high, but then the top is some other shape that makes it 25 meters. What is the shape of the top of the building?

if we assume that the building is a rectangular box then they gave you one more piece of info than you needed. the 20 feet is useless. the answer is the area of the base times the height which in 25 times 25 which is 625

volume = base area x total hight
v = 25 x 20 = 500 M.C

Base
20m * 25m2 = 500m3
Pointy part on top
5m * 25m2 / 3 = 42m3 rounded
542 m3 rounded
