An engineer is planning to use gabion retaining wall to protect a section of Kennon road from landslide.
A gabion is a wire mesh container filled with rocks. The engineer must estimate the volume of the rock to
be used. If the gabion wall will have a thickness of 5ft, estimate the volume of the rocks given the
measured depth of the wall every 10 ft of its width based from the road level.
