A series of perpendicular offsets were taken from a theodolite line to an irregular boundary. These offsets were at 3.20 m apart and were measured in the following order: 1.5 2.5, 4.1, 4.3, 3.7, 2.8, 4.2, 5.3, and 1.4, meters. a) Determine the area using trapezoidal rule. b) Determine the area by Simpson’s one-third rule
