The railroad cut shown in the figure has sides inclined at 45 degrees to the horizontal. the base of the cuts is a horizontal rectangle and the ends are vertical. the depth of the cut at each of the points A, B, C, D is indicated in the figure. Find the cost of the making the cut at 1 dollars per cube yard
If we can assume the diagram given to be a triangular prism
Surface area
Where l=10ft; s=5 ft
Then
Similarly we can find the base,
Therefore, the full length of the base is
Also we can find the volume of the figure above
Cube foot to cube yards
1 Cube foot 0.037037 cube yards
564.2 Cube foot = 20.896296 cube yards
The cost will be
1 cube yards = $ 1
20.896296 cube yards = $ 20.896296
