---------------------------------------
Formula
---------------------------------------
Volume = πr²h

---------------------------------------
Find Volume of one tank
---------------------------------------
Volume of 1 tank = πr²h
Volume of 1 tank = 3.14 x 6² x 12
Volume of 1 tank = 678.24 ft³

---------------------------------------
Find Volume of 5 tanks
---------------------------------------
Volume of 1 tank = 678.24
Volume of 5 tanks = 678.24 x 5
Volume of 5 tanks = 3391.2 ft³

---------------------------------------
Answer: 3391.2 ft³
