19.12.2. Volume and Area Calculations

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) represent?

   Hint

   Remember, it's a model created from aerial data.

2. 2.

   Why are accurate stockpile measurements important?

   Hint

   Think about project efficiency.

3. 3.

   What does UAV stand for?

   • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
   • Ultra Active Vehicle
   • United Aerial Vehicle

   Hint

   It's the name of a type of aircraft without a pilot.

4. 4.

   True or False: Area calculations using UAVs are not useful for stockpile measurements.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the relationship between area and stockpile management.

5. 5.

   A construction site requires 1000 cubic meters of material for a new road. Using a UAV, the initial measurement shows only 800 cubic meters in stock. What action should be taken?

   Hint

   Think about how you would manage resources.

6. 6.

   Calculate the volume of an irregularly shaped stockpile measured as a cone 4 meters tall and a base radius of 3 meters using the formula (1/3)πr²h.

   Hint

   Use the volume formula for cones.
