what is volumn of my pool 16 x 24 x 4 ft.?
Answers:
Here's the formula that pool pros use. You don't mention if it's an oval or actually a proper rectangle, so I included the multipliers for both.
Length X Width X Average Depth X Multiplier = Gallons in your pool
Determine the Multiplier:
Rectangle, square, or free-form pool:multiplier = 7.5.
Round or Oval pool: multiplier = 5.9
Determine the Average Depth:
To determine the average depth in a pool where the bottom slopes, measure the shallow end, the the deep end depth. Add them together and divide by two (2).
Example: Shallow End = 2'. Deep End = 10'
2' + 10' = 12'; 12'/2 = 6' Average Depth
This works on all shapes of pools and of all dpeths.

If it is oval you need to figure the rare of the oval and multiply by the 4ft depth. In this case 8ft of each end will be part of the curve.
so that leaves you a 8ft x16ft square, and if you put the two curves together, you get a 16ft circle, so for the circle use ;Pi times radius squared, then add the area of the square, then multiply by depth.
3.14 (Pi) X 64 (8ft radius squared) = 200.96 sq. ft.
16 X 8 = 128 sq. ft.
200.96 + 128 = 328.96 sq. ft.
328.96 X 4 (depth of pool) = 1315.84 cu. ft.
