Calculation of the volume of the trench

Calculation of the trenches or ditches

Specify dimensions in metres

L - the total length of trenches or ditches
A - width at the top of the
B - bottom width
H - the depth of the trench

The program calculates the volume and surface area of the trench.
If the width of the top and bottom of the trench will be different then calculated Additionally useful volume C and volume of sloped sections D.
