AP Calculus 17 March 2014 Riemann Sums, Trapezoid Rule, and Simpsons Rule When determining the area under the curve of a function, the definite integral is almost always used. Although the definite integral is by far the most accurate method for determining the area under a curve, ther...
Related to trapezoid: Trapezoid ruletrapezoid trapezoid, closed plane figure bounded by four line segments, or sides, two of which are parallel and two of which are nonparallel. The parallel sides of a trapezoid are called bases and the nonparallel sides legs; in an isosceles trapezoid the legs...
Step 1: The given information in the problem is the measure of one base, the measure of the height, and the area of the trapezoid. Hence, we need to find the measure of the other base. Thus, derive a formula using the area of the trapezoid. A= $\frac{1}{2}$(b1+b2)(h) 2A=...
