Question
A square piece of land 60 m x 60 m is to be levelled down to 8 m above elevation zero. To determine the
volume of earth to be removed by the borrow-pit method, the land is divided into 9 squares whose corners
are arranged as follows with the corresponding elevations above elevation zero. Find the volume of cut in
cubic meters by unit area basis.
A = 24.8 m
B = 29.3 m
C = 26.2 m
D = 27.3 m
E = 27.3 m
F = 25.3 m
G = 24.9 m
H = 28.3 m
I= 23.2 m
J = 22.5 m
K = 21.6 m
L = 29.5 m
M = 25.2 m
N = 20.5 m
O = 19.8 m
P = 18.7 m
