Swimming pool is of length 20m, wide 5m and height of the swimming pool increase from the 1.6m to 4.4m.
What is the volume of swimming pool?
How I approached:
Area of swimming pool = Area of cube + Area of prism
Area of cube = l * b * h
So
Area of cube = 20 * 5 * 1.6
Are of prism = ???

No calc needed here:
$20\times5\times1.6$ for the cube $= 160$.
$20 \times 5 \times \frac{ 4.4 - 1.6 }2$ for the prism $= 140$ (just take the average of the two heights since the bottom is flat, if it were curved then we get into calc).
Total is $300$.
