You multiply your deepest point x 2 and add the result to your length and width.
example: deepest point is 10 ft. (Multiply times two) = 10 x 2 = 20 ft
Length: 100 ft. and add your result from deepest point formula: 100 + 20 = 120 ft.
Width: 150 ft. and add your result from deepest point formula: 150 + 20 = 170 ft.
Total Pond size: 120 x 170 = 20,400 sqft.
