An artificial wetland has been created by building an earth dam across a small creek, between the sides of the creek valley. The dam is trapezoidal in section. It is 1.5 m across on the top and 1.53 m high. The sides are sloped at 1V:5H. The height of the dam is 1.53 m and the dam is 27.3 m long. What volume of earth is contained in the dam? Express your answer to the nearest integer value. If the average density of the earth in the dam is 2.28 tonnes/m3, how many tonnes of earth have been used to build the dam? Express your answer to the nearest integer value. Submit your work as a file in the accompanying question.
