What is the capacity, in cubic meters, of a swimming pool that is 15 m long, 8 m wide and 5 m deep on the shallow end and 7 m on the deep end?

Parth (parthkohli):

|dw:1391603285614:dw| Is it shaped something like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli Yes.

Parth (parthkohli):

I think it you should calculate the average depth of the pool.

Parth (parthkohli):

The average depth is the average of the deepest and shallowest ends. Makes sense?

Parth (parthkohli):

OK, never mind that. You know that the capacity means volume, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I got it. Thanks! @ParthKohli

Parth (parthkohli):

Hehe. I barely helped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you gave me the idea about getting the average depth. So thanks! @ParthKohli

Parth (parthkohli):

Well, great that you recognized it! Keep it up.
