Rick C. writes: Wonder if you could help me figure out the gallons of water in my kidney-shaped pool? This is easy. Start by enclosing the outside of the pool in a rectangle, and by inscribing a rectangle within the pool. Use the rectangles to determine the maximum and minimum number of cubic feet of water contained in the pool [Outer Width * Outer Height * Maximum Depth and Inner Width * Inner Height * Minimum Depth]. Increase the number of rectangles (using the maximum and minimum depth contained with each rectangle and decreasing the area contained within a rectangle each time) until you reach the desired degree of accuracy. Use a standard table to determine the number cubic feet of water per gallon. Multiply.
