The English Channel Tunnel, or "Chunnel," runs a distance of 50.45 kilometers from Dover, England, to Calais, France. The Chunnel actually consists of three individual, adjacent tunnels, each shaped like a half-cylinder with a radius of 4 meters (the height of the tunnel).How much earth (volume) was removed to build the entire Chunnel?
