A cylindrical oil storage tank has a height of 10 meters and a diameter of 24 meters. If the tank is full, how much oil does it contain? Round to the nearest tenth of a kiloliter (1 m3 = 1 kL). Use 3.14 for π.

For this case what you should do is find the volume of the tank in the form of a cylinder.
By definition, the volume of a cylinder is:
V = pi * (r ^ 2) * (h)
Where,
h: height
r: radio
Substituting the values we have:
V = 3.14 * ((24/2) ^ 2) * (10)
V = 4521.6 kL
Answer:
If the tank is full, it does contain 4521.6 kL of oil
