so I will solve for volume
volume=area of base times height
area of base=triangle
area of triangle=1/2base times height

isocolese height=20, base=35
area=1/2 times 35 timers 20=350
times depth of pool which is 5
350 times 5=1750

equilateral trignale, height=52, base=60
area=1/2 times 52 times 60=1560
times depth of pool which is 5
1560 times 5=7800



volumes

isoscelese=1750 ft^3
equilateral=7800 ft^3
