I would immediately view this as two (2) ponds connected by a 2 foot wide passage, not as one pond.
In all fairness, I admit that the use of geometrical figures such as rectangles, circles, Rhombus, trapezoids, etc. are used by some to determine area or volume of a pond. This method usually requires the taking of more measurements and more mathematical computations than the averaging method but is not any more accurate.
i think this is the explanation of it , an example how taking avg bluntly will effect the actual volume in some cases . here just by 2 inch area which is 2ft , its changing width of 100 ft which is over 20ft as its not taken in to consideration , what percentage of the total is 2ft width ie less then 1% of total but still we are trimming the 99% from the total
now if u remove this 2 inch or separate these 2 rounded squares , the width will reach 22 ft just by removing 2 inch and volume wil have drastic difference which is not logical .View attachment 99282
