Subtopic: Check dams and farm ponds
Question Statement:
A dugout farm pond has top dimensions $30\text{ m} \times 20\text{ m}$, bottom dimensions $24\text{ m} \times 14\text{ m}$, and a uniform depth of $3.0\text{ m}$. Using the prismoidal formula $V = \frac{d}{6} (A_1 + 4 A_m + A_2)$, calculate the water storage capacity of the pond in $\text{m}^3$.
