    So

    volume=height times area of base

    base = circle so

    area of base=area of circle=pir^2

    volume=h (pi) r^2

    h=12

    r=6

    pi=3.14 aprox

    subsitute

    volume=12 (3.14) 6^2

    volume=12 (3.14) 36

    volume=1356.48

    that is vol of 1 tank

    1356.48 times 5=6782.4

    answer is 6782.4 ft^2 or D
