To calculate the volume of earthwork between two sections, we can use the formula for the volume of a prismoid:
Volume = Mid-sectional area × Distance between sections

Given:
- Distance between sections = 40 m
- Mid-sectional area = 15 m²
Using the formula:
Volume = Mid-sectional area × Distance between sections

V = 15 × 40 

V = 600 m3
