Answer: B 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

We would assume that the stock tank is cylindrical. We would calculate the volume by applying the formula,

Volume = πr^h

where

π = 3.14

r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

From the information given,

diameter = 3

radius = diameter/2 = 3/2

r = 1.5

h = 1.5

Volume = 3.14 x 1.5^2 x 1.5 = 10.5975 cubic meters

By rounding to the nearest tenth,

Volume = 10.6 cubic meters
