    Culvert is a tunnel, therefore we can use the volume and area formula of a cylinder.

    Circumference is given such as 280 cm and the circumference formula of a circle is C = 2*pi*r

    Solving for the radius, we have:

    280 = 2*3.14*r

    r = 280/2*3.14

    r = 44.59 cm

    Area of one end:

    Area = pi*r²

    Area = 3.14 * 44.59²

    Area = 6,243.2 cm²

    The total area is times two of area since there were two ends in the culvert.

    Total area = 6243.2 * 2

    Total area = 12,486.32 cm²
