The elephants need a new water trough. The zookeeper is looking at several designs that have different measurements. He needs to know if it will hold the amount of water that the elephants will need for the day. The measurements are as follows: For the side (the trapezoid base) x = 3 ft, y = 5.7 ft, w =6.2 ft and the length (height of prism) of the trough is z = 8.9 ft. Find the volume of the trough. Round the FINAL answer to the nearest cubic foot (whole number no decimals). Use the Desmos Calculator.
