I just don't know where to start with this one... I need to find the mass in kilograms of chlorine in a pool that is  32 feet wide, 95 feet long, and slopes constantly from 3.0 feet (shallowest)  to 8.0 feet (deepest). The concentration of chlorine needed to disinfect the pool is 0.50mg/L. I just don't where to start... I know I  need to find the  volume of the pool at some point, but not sure how with the two different heights. Let me  know! Thanks everyone!

The step for calculating the volume of the pool is best thought of by drawing a diagram of a cross-section of the pool. It will look like a trapezoid.

Thanks! So instead of using volume of a rectangle, use volume of a trapezoid or a quatdrilateral?? The thing about it is, the whole  slope of the  entire "bottom" of the pool/shape is messing me up. Will it still  work out the same?? I'm just not sure what type of shape looks like that, even a  trapezoid. Attached is how I am thinking of the pool.. in the non trapezoid way, how the question makes it sound to be. Is this right?? If not and the trapezoid is what I  need, I guess I dont know how it can look like that since it gives a constant width and length. So by this where do I need to start? Thanks so much!!!

As told - draw cross section.

Ok. Thanks! I got it now. Sorry for the reiteration needed. Just wasn't processing it all quick enough.
