Answer

$1137 \; ft^3$.

Work Step by Step

Length of the cylindrical tank $h=25\;ft\;9\; in$. Diameter of the cylindrical tank $d=7\;ft\;6\;in$. Radius $r=\frac{d}{2}$ $r=\frac{7\;ft\;6\;in}{2} = 3\;ft\;9\;in$. The formula for volume is: $V=\pi r^2 h$ Plug all values into the formula. $V=\pi (3\;ft\;9\;in)^2 (25\;ft\;9\; in)$ Simplify (rounded value). $V=1137 \; ft^3$.
