Average Grade Calculation
- Points A & B (36.63+36.58)/2 = 36.60 x 17m = 622.2
- Points B & C (36.58+36.40)/2 = 36.49 x 3.77 m = 137.56
- Points C & D (36.40 + 36.20)/2 = 36.3 x 9.68 m = 351.38
- Points D & E (36.20 + 37.30)/2 = 36.75 x 25.75 m = 946.31
- Points E & F (37.30 + 37.0)/2 = 37.15 x 9.68 m = 359.6
- Points F & G (37.0 + 36.90)/2 = 36.95 x 3.5 m = 129.3
- Points G & H (36.90 + 36.66)/2 = 36.78 x 17 m = 625.2
- Points H & A (36.66 + 36.63)/2 = 36.64 x 20.2 m = 740
