Find the approximate area of cross-section.

The approximate area of the cross-section is the plane (the surface) covered by the water in the river channel. It is the product of the width of the channel, and the average depth of the river.
*********************************************************************************
average depth is ((1.2 + 2.1 + 2.4 + 1.6 + 0.6) / 5) * 30 = 47.4 square meters
