Instead of using the rectangles above we could use the smaller rectangles whose heights are the values of f at the left endpoints of the sub intervals. (The leftmost rectangle has

(a) Using left endpoints
(b) Using right endpoints
By computing the sum of these areas of the smaller rectangles (L8) and the sum of the areas of the larger rectangles (Rg), we obtain better lower and upper estimates for A:
0.5468750 <A < 0.7968750.
So one possible answer to the question is to say that the true area lies somewhere between 0.5468750 and 0.7968750.
We could obtain better estimates by increasing the number of strips. The table at the left shows the results of similar calculations (with a computer) using n rectangles whose
heights are found with left endpoints (Ln) or right endpoints (Rn). In particular, we see by using 50 strips that the area lies between 0.6468 and 0.6868. With 1000 strips, we
narrow it down even more: A lies between 0.6656670 and 0.6676670. A good estimate is obtained by averaging these numbers: A =
