The proper question for a 3 dimensional tank would be what is the Cubic Feet - in this case it is simply the dimensions multiplied together (assuming they are all in feet):

72 x 24 x 31 = 53,568 cubic feet = 400,716.5 gallons

If the dimensions are actually in inches, you must convert each to feet and then multiply:

(72/12) x (24/12) x (31/12) = 6 x 2 x (31/12) = 31 cubic feet = 231.9 gallons

Now if you truly want the square feet, then you would need to know which dimension is the height and ignore it. Let's say the "31" is the height, and the dimensions are in inches. This leaves:

(72/12) x (24/12) = 6 x 2 = 12 square feet

What is the depth of a volume of 64 cubic feet?

That's going to depend on the shape of the container, especially on how much 'real estate' the base of the container covers. For discussion, imagine that the container is a square fish tank, and the four walls go straight up from the four sides of the square base. -- If the base of the tank covers 64 square feet and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 1 foot deep. -- If the base of the tank covers 1 acre and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 0.0176 inch deep. -- If the base of the tank covers 1 square inch and it holds 64 cubic feet, then the water in it is 9,216 feet (1.745 mile) deep.

Water tank 530 feet long and 165 feet wide the bottom is 29 feet how do i get square feet of this?

Well that depends on what you mean. In a water tank the typical measurement of concern is volume, in this case cubic feet. To calculate volume of a rectangular prism, (say, a tank) you multiply length by width by height, or:530 ft L X 165 ft W X 29 ft H = 2,536,050 cubic ft!If you're looking for area of the bottom of the tank, this is measured in square feet. To determine the area of a rectangle you multiply base times height, or:530 ft X 165 ft = 87,450 square ft.
