Linear Approximation Question

[Ravan_Rzayev]

Hi everyone, I came accross a question which has me stumped. Question is like that: A 100m long pipe of diameter is covered by insulation hm thick and then buried underground in soil. Use linear approximation to estimate how much extra soil is displacewd by the insulation. If you find a solution, I will be very thankful to you. Thanks beforehand

You say - "EXTRA soil"

EXTRA compared to what ?

And what is the diameter/radius of the pipe?
