How many gallons of water are in an 8 feet by 10 2feet deep pond?

```

V = lwh

```

where:

- V is the volume in cubic units

- l is the length of the prism in feet

- w is the width of the prism in feet

- h is the height of the prism in feet

In this case, the length of the pond is 8 feet, the width is 10 feet, and the height is 2 feet. So, the volume of the pond is:

```

V = (8 ft)(10 ft)(2 ft) = 160 cubic feet

```

Since there are 7.48 gallons in 1 cubic foot, the number of gallons of water in the pond is:

```

V = (160 cubic feet)(7.48 gallons/cubic foot) = 1196.8 gallons

```

Therefore, there are approximately 1197 gallons of water in an 8 feet by 10 feet by 2 feet deep pond.
