V+=+h%28B%5B1%5D%2BB%5B2%5D%2Bsqrt%28B%5B1%5DB%5B2%5D%29%29%2F3 where h is the depth of the lake, B%5B1%5D is the area of the bottom of the lake, and B%5B2%5D is the area of the surface of the lake. The area of the bottom and the surface is given by A=lw, 180+%2A+20 and 216+%2A+24.

I'll leave it to you to plug in the values and do the arithmetic.
