The longitudinal ground profile and the gradeline shows that the length of cut is 540 m. while the length of fill is 690 m. The width of the road bed is 10 m for both cut and fill. The profile areas between the ground line and the gradeline are 4800 sq.m for cut and 2592 sq.m for fill. Find the difference between the volume of cut and fill in cu.m if the sides slopes are 1.5:1 for cut and 2:1 for fill. p.s: 3 decimal places
