Final answer:
Assuming a uniform cut depth of 1 foot, the total volume of cut for areas A1 and A2 is 400 ft³, which is not one of the provided choices. The distance between the areas is irrelevant for calculating the volume of cut.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the volume of a cut, we multiply the area that needs to be cut by the depth of the cut. However, the problem does not provide a depth, so assuming a uniform depth of 1 foot is the only way to solve this question with the given information. To find the total volume of cuts for both areas A1 and A2:
- For A1: Area = 300 square feet. Assuming a depth of 1 foot: Volume = Area × Depth = 300 ft² × 1 ft = 300 ft³.
- For A2: Area = 100 square feet. Assuming the same depth of 1 foot: Volume = Area × Depth = 100 ft² × 1 ft = 100 ft³.
Total volume of cut = Volume of A1 + Volume of A2 = 300 ft³ + 100 ft³ = 400 ft³.
Note that the distance between the two areas is irrelevant when calculating volume as it does not affect the total volume of material to be removed. Therefore, the correct answer is none of the provided choices (A, B, C, or D). If a depth other than 1 foot is intended, it must be specified to calculate the actual volume.
