Earthwork Cross-section Area
Earthwork cross-section area can be for small or large areas.
Earthwork Cross-Section Area formula |

| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \(\large{ A_c }\) = area cross-section | \(\large{ft^2}\) | \(\large{m^2}\) |
| \(\large{ x_i }\) = horizontal axis | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
| \(\large{ y_i }\) = vertical axis | \(\large{ft}\) | \(\large{m}\) |
| \(\large{ n }\) = number of points on cross-section | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
