Volume = pi x radius^2 x height (
Wait a minute ... what do you mean by horizontal height and vertical height? You said radius, so I figured you meant a cylindrical tank, now I'm not so sure, as a cylinder doesn't have a "horizontal height" and a "vertical height".
What is the shape of this tank anyway? Can you describe it or put up a picture on photobucket?
(edited later..)
I think I got you... the cylindrical tank, 6 m long and 2.48 m in radius, is lying on its side, filled to a depth of 2.35 m. The cross sections of the filled area would look like an arc if circle of radius 2.48 m, bounded by a straight line sliced off at 2.35 m. Is this it? Do you need the volume of the tank or the volume of the filled area?
Might be worthwhile figuring out if we knew for sure the correct description.

A well defined problem, gets you already half way to the answer.
The first answer is asssuming that you have a cylinderical tank with
a circular bottom witha a radius of 2.48 m and has a height of 6m. It is also assumed that the top and bottom of tank are perfectly flat.
What do you mean by vertical height of 2.35 m is not clear. You have to be able to pictorially represent these dimensions to get a correct naswer.
Are you not looking for - what's the volume of the tank ?

What measurement do you want actually? It is erroneous question because :
horizontal tank Height - 6m (in horizontal),
vertical height is 2.35m.
both are linear dimension and in that case where from the radius arrived? If it is a circular tank then the radius can be there.

I guess you're looking for the volume?
In that case, you need to find the area of a cross section, same as finding the area of a circle, which is Pi(radius squared). 3.1415([2.48 meters] squared) gives you approx. 19.3214816 sq. meters. Then you simply multipy the area by the height, just like you would in a rectangular prism. 19.3214816 sq. meters times 2.35 meters = 45.40548176 cubic meters, rounded to the second decimal would be 45.41 cubic meters.
