Length of a road You and a companion are about to drive a
twisty stretch of dirt road in a car whose speedometer works but
whose odometer (mileage counter) is broken. To find out how
long this particular stretch of road is, you record the car's velocity
at 10-sec intervals, with the results shown in the accompanying
table. Estimate the length of the road using
