That's a trick question if that's all the information.
\n" ); document.write( "For example, suppose I have 40 ft around and 1 foot deep.
\n" ); document.write( "40 ft around can be sides of 10-10-10-10
\n" ); document.write( "The area is $\"+10%2A10+=+100+\"$ ft2
\n" ); document.write( "Volume = $\"+100%2A1+=+100+\"$ cubic ft
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "But suppose the 40 ft around is 15-5-15-5, then
\n" ); document.write( "the area is $\"+5%2A15+=+75+\"$ ft2
\n" ); document.write( "and the volume is $\"+75%2A1+=+75+\"$ cubic ft
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "So, there's no way to answer the question
\n" ); document.write( "unless you have more information, like
\n" ); document.write( "the area to be filled is square, etc. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
