Your 3 strips would be 3 trapezoids.
The confusing part is the fact that the last "trapezoid" is actually just a triangle
area of trapezoids
= (1/2)(1)(6+4) + (1/2)(1)(4+2) + (1/2)(1)(2+0)
= 5 + 3 + 1
= 9
( your area consists of a triangle with a base of 3 and a height of 6
area = (1/2)base x height
= (1/2)(3)(6) = 9 , confirming our answer above )
Given the function 6x+3y=18, find the area under the curve from x=0 to x=3 using 3 strips of equal length using the right end points.
I was working on this and so I made the equation equal to Y=mx+b form so it ends up being Y=-2x+6, and now I am completely confused.. Please help!
