a flat-bottom reflecting pool has length 30 yards, width 10 yards, and depth 0.3 yard. Find th e surface area of the pool and the volume of water it holds
The surface area of the object above can be calculated by summing up all the areas of the surfaces. Therefore, we will have 5 surfaces with rectangles as the shape. The volume would be the product of the length, width and the depth. We calculate as follows:
SA = 2(depth)(length) + 2(depth)(width) + (width)(length) SA = 324 yd^2
