A cutting is to be formed as part of a proposed road having a formation width of 7.30 m and side slopes of 1 in 2. A cross-section is to be taken at chainage 2050 m, where the depth of dig to the proposed formation level is 10.89 m and the existing ground level is horizontal at right-angles to the proposed centre line. Calculate the plan width and the area of cut required at this crosssection.
