The trapezoidal approximation will be the average of the left- and right-endpoint approximations.
Let's consider a simple example of estimating the value of a general definite integral,

Split up the interval
![[a,b]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ba%2Cb%5D)
into

equal subintervals,
![[x_0,x_1]\cup[x_1,x_2]\cup\cdots\cup[x_{n-2},x_{n-1}]\cup[x_{n-1},x_n]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx_0%2Cx_1%5D%5Ccup%5Bx_1%2Cx_2%5D%5Ccup%5Ccdots%5Ccup%5Bx_%7Bn-2%7D%2Cx_%7Bn-1%7D%5D%5Ccup%5Bx_%7Bn-1%7D%2Cx_n%5D)
where

and

. Each subinterval has measure (width)

.
Now denote the left- and right-endpoint approximations by

and

, respectively. The left-endpoint approximation consists of rectangles whose heights are determined by the left-endpoints of each subinterval. These are

. Meanwhile, the right-endpoint approximation involves rectangles with heights determined by the right endpoints,

.
So, you have


Now let

denote the trapezoidal approximation. The area of each trapezoidal subdivision is given by the product of each subinterval's width and the average of the heights given by the endpoints of each subinterval. That is,

Factoring out

and regrouping the terms, you have

which is equivalent to

and is the average of

and

.
So the trapezoidal approximation for your problem should be
Answer: The total length in kilometers is 38 km
Step-by-step explanation:
17 + 2 = 19 km is 1/2 of the total length, that is,
19 = (1/2)h
(1/2)h = 19 multiply both sides by 2
h = 2*19
h = 38 km

Answer:
Width: 10.5 feet
Length: 31.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent width of the concrete slab.
We have been given that the length of a concrete slab is three more than three times the width. So length of the slab would be
.
We are also told that the area of slab is 330 square feet. We can represent this information in an equation as:




Now, we will take square root of both sides.


Therefore, the width of slab is approximately 10.5 feet.
The length of the slab would be
.
Therefore, the length of slab is approximately 31.5 feet.
