Answer: 254.46 cubic feet

Explanation:

Hi, since the tank is 6 feet across, it means that its diameter is 6 feet.

Radius (r) = diameter /2 = 6/2 = 3 feet

Having the radius, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder.

V= π r^2 h

Where v is the volume and h is the height.(the deep of the tank in our case)

Replacing with our values:

V = π 3^2 (9)

V = π 9 (9) =254.46 cubic feet

The volume is equal to the maximum number of cubic feet of paint that the tank can hold
