Answer:

1040 cubic feet

Explanation:

To make it easier, you can divide the L shape into two rectangular ones. One at the left side (rectangle 1) and the other joining with it at the right (rectangle 2).

We know the volume of a rectangle is

V = L x W x H

where L = length

W = width

H = height

So for rectangle 1:

length = 10 ft

width = 20 - 16 = 4 ft

height = 10 ft

Volume (rectangle 1) = 10 x 4 x 10 = 400 cubic feet

and for rectangle 2:

length = 16 ft

width = 10 - 6 = 4 ft

height = 10 ft

Volume (rectangle 2) = 16 x 4 x 10 = 640 cubic feet

We will add the volumes of both the shapes to get the volume of the pool:

Volume of pool = 400 + 640 = 1040 cubic feet
