Assuming that your answer to problem 1 represents the uniform thickness of the deposit (a simplistic assumption), calculate the total volume of the deposit.

The following questions are based on Map T-26a, a section of the USGS “Spring Hill, Idaho,” quadrangle (scale 1:24,000; contour interval 20 feet). You are going to calculate the approximate volume of the mass wasting deposit shown at the foot of the Pahsimeroi Mountains.
