Have you ever gone to a family outing going to a resort? There

are a lot of things that you can see around. There are swimming
pools of various designs. You can see cottages around the resort.
There are also cylindrical tanks on top of the building. If you are
asked how much water is placed in the swimming pool and in the
water tank, how will you do it?
