How do you work out volume of corner tank??

Someone please help!

I've been offered for sale a corner tank but before I agree to how much water I am downgrading too I need to know how many litres it holds.

It's not triangle one its got the 2 big straight sides at the back, then 2 wee sides and then the front.

My tank is 127L I don't want tooo much smaller. But no idea how to work out the size

Work out the area of the base in cm
Multiply that by the height in cm
Then divide that by 1000

OK

the 2 sides (from the back corner) are 2ft.
The front is 2ft and the cut off cornery bits are 6"
and its 2ft tall.

I worked it out as 2x2ft and halfed it to get a rough estimate and got something like 113 L how far off was I?
