Garibaldi lake task

If you take the average depth (119m) and the surface area (9940m²) and multiply the two together (119 x 9940² = 1182860m²). Then we need to convert the answer (1182860m²) and convert it into Liters to show the liquid value which would be 1182860000L, Garibaldi lakes shape is rigid and not an exact shape so if I were to make an estimation I would guess that it would be about 11750000000 Liters.

If the barrier were to collapse, a large amount of water would escape and would be very strong and dangerous, destroying many things. 1 cubic meter of water equals 1,000 kg and 2204.6 pounds of water. if we were to multiply that with the amount of water in the lake it would be equal to 1.8286·10¹² kg and 2.607733156·10¹² pounds.

One core competencies I used to complete this task was critical thinking. in order to solve the question, I needed to expand my thinking and analyze the situation. I had first tried to figure out an equation that would let me solve the question. then I had used certain websites to find the depth and surface area, finally to get an answer I converted it into liters and then made an estimation based off of my answer.
