A trough is formed by nailing together, edge to edge, two boards 11 ft. in length, so that the right section is a right triangle. If 15 gal. of water are poured into the trough and if the trough is held level so that a right section of the water is an isosceles right triangle, how deep is the water? (231 cu. in = 1 gal.)

Isn't it 231 cu in. = 1 gal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, Sorry. Yes. it's 231 cu. in.

One more question, you have 11 ft length in the statement and 11" in the picture.
