Practice Problem: Finding area and volume (volume = average area x distance) ; vols00pt.pdf

Area 1: 5948 sq. ft.

Area 2: 10666 sq. ft.

Area 3: 6307 sq. ft.

Volume Total (cu. ft.)  = (0 + 5948)/ 2 * 135 + ..           (401490.0)
                                    (5948 + 10666)/ 2 * 142 +..     (1179594.0)
                                    (10666 + 6307)/ 2 * 205 +..     (1739732.5)
                                    (6307 + 0)/ 2 * 75                    (236512.5)
                                                                            =     3557329 cu. ft.
