Question

Determine the area of cross-section.

The cross section notes of the ground surface at a given station of a road survey shows that the ground
is sloping at an 8% upward to the right. The difference in elevation between the ground surface and the finished
subgrade on centerline of the proposed road is 2.5m. Width of the subgrade is 7 meters with a side slope of 2:1.
