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. 12 X 14 ft, but how much average depth? - you need all 3 #'s to figure out gallonage (sp?) - I use L X W X average D X 6.7 for that - if you had a perfect, straight sided, square pond, - you would use 7.5 instead of 6.7, but our ponds are slope side and round cornered JMOO - Gale :~) |

wants to know gallons of top off water My pond is 12 x 14 feet . I top it off with about two inches of water 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches. 12x14 feet x 2 inches = 12 x 12 x 14 x 12 x 2 = 48384 cubic inches 48384 / 231 = 209.45 gallons. C// |
