Question

The measurements of a meadow were taken at 30 ft intervals. Use Simpson's Rule to estimate the area of the meadow with the following measurements: 76 ft, 118 ft, 130 ft, 143 ft, 139 ft, 136 ft, 137 ft, 139 ft, 130 ft, 122 ft, 60 ft

Answer 1

Δx/3*[f(x0)+4f(x1)+2f(x2)+4f(x3)+........+2f(xn−2)+4f(xn−1)+f(xn)]

= 30/3 * (76 + 4*118 + 2*130 + 4*143 + 2*139 + 4*136 + 2*137 + 4*139 + 2*130 + 4*122 + 60)
