Cross-section 5048

A path will lead to an embankment across the floodplain. The embankment will be 2 km long and have the shape of an isosceles trapezoid in cross-section with base lengths of 12 m and 8 m and a height of 2 m. Calculate the volume of material needed to build the embankment.

Correct answer:

V =  40000 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

l=2000 m a=12 m c=8 m h=2 m  S=2a+c h=212+8 2=20 m2 V=S l=20 2000=40000 m3
