Elliptical Tank

[greatwhiteshark]

I have an elliptical tank in a horizontal position. (Tank length = 50
ft, height of ellipse = 5 ft, and width of ellipse = 10 ft.) Given any
height of liquid, say 3.0 ft, how can I calculate the volume?

I found a formula for the total volume, .785 x h x w x l = v , but that has
not helped me find the answer.
