Solve this problem using an incorrect Babylonian formula for the area of a trapezoid, namely, b1 + b2 S1 + S2 A = 2 2 A Babylonian tablet of 2000 B.C. gives two methods for calculating the diagonal d of a rectangle with sides of length 40 and 10 units. The first leads (in specific numbers) to the approximation 2ab2 d a+ 3600 where a is the larger side and b is the shorter side, and the second method to the approximation d at 2a Check the accuracy of these approximations to V1700 by squaring the respective answers.
