Thanks to everyone. I could handle the length x width x depth in feet. It
was the inches that threw me.

Believe it or not, I took algebra. geometry, and trig in high school.
Passed them, barely. In geometry the teacher said she was going to teach me
geometry if it was the last thing she ever did. She retired at the end of
the year.

I can still remember some theorems but wish now I had paid more attention.
I think geometry would be such a fantastic think to know.

Is there a kind soul out there who knows math better than I do. I have a
fairly high IQ but my ability in math is about zero. For example. Many
years ago I took a course called "Drugs and Solutions." We were given a
test which was mostly math. I got half of them wrong. At the end of the
course they gave us the exact same test again. Again I got half wrong.

But
it was the other half.

My pond is 12 x 14 feet . I top it off with about two inches of water

evry
couple of days. Can someone, anyone, please tell me how many gallons this
would be.
