Transcribed Image Text:**4. Swimming Pool Volume Calculation**
The swimming pool from example 3 of trapezoids has a width of 15 feet. Find the volume in gallons. (1 gallon = 7.48 cubic feet)
In example 3 of the instructional sheet, the area of this cross-section of the pool (along its length) was computed. The width of the pool, between these two vertical walls, forms a prism. (The surface of the water is a 15 by 32 rectangle.)
**Diagram Description:**
The diagram depicts a cross-section of a swimming pool:
- The water surface is represented as a horizontal line, labeled "water surface."
- At the top, the length of the water surface is divided into two sections: the top parallel section is 20 feet, and the lower section is 10 feet.
- The pool's sides slope inward for a height of 7 feet, culminating in a vertical wall with a height of 3 feet at each end.
- The bottom of the pool is flat, measuring 10 feet in length.
- The full length from top to bottom is 12 feet.
This cross-section forms a trapezoidal shape, and the calculation involves using its area to determine the pool's volume.
