Question 1072002: Suppose there was a pool shaped like a right trapezoidal prism. The bottom is a trapezoid as
shown below with the longer base being 24 feet, the shorter base being 16 feet and the height
being 12 feet. If the depth of the pool is 4 feet, find the volume of the pool in cubic feet.

A trap is (1/2)h(b1+b2)=(1/2)*12 (40)=240 sq ft.
The height is 4 feet, so the volume is 240*4=960 ft^3.
