A trough is formed by nailing together edge to edge, two boards 11 ft. in length, so that the right section is a right triangle. If 15 gal. of water are poured into the trough and if the trough is held level so that a right section of the water is an isosceles triangle, how deep is the water ( 231 cu.in. = 1 gal.)
