Answer:

The tank capacity is 9,635.09 square feet.

Explanation:

Given that a cylindrical fuel storage tank has a diameter of 19 feet and a height of 34 feet, the following calculation must be performed to determine the capacity of the tank, knowing that the volume of a cylinder arises from the following formula = π x r² xh:

Radius = 1/2 diameter

3.14 x (19/2) ² x 34 = X

3.14 x 9.5² x 34 = X

3.14 x 90.25 x 34 = X

3.14 x 3,068.5 = X

9,635.09 = X

Therefore, the tank capacity is 9,635.09 square feet.
