CIRCLE PROBLEM:
How much water can hold a kiddie pool with a 6 foot diameter when filled 1 foot high?
The surface area of the circular base, in square feet can be calculated by the formula
with = radius, measured in feet (half the diameter)
square feet (rounding and the result).
So we can fill the pool to 1 foot high with 28.3 cubic feet of water.

TRAPEZOID PROBLEM:
A lot has a 40 foot front on one street, with perpendicular sides measuring 70 and 50 feet, and backing to another street. What is the surface area of the lot in square feet?
