Pollution monitoring Suppose that the presence of phosphates in certain waste products dumped into a lake promotes the growth of algae. Rampant growth of algae affects the oxygen supply in the water, so an environmental group wants to estimate the area of algae growth. Group members measure across the algae growth (see Figure 13.35) and obtain the data (in feet) in the table.
x | Width w | x | Width w |
0 | 0 | 50 | 27 |
10 | 15 | 60 | 24 |
20 | 18 | 70 | 23 |
30 | 18 | 80 | 0 |
40 | 30 |
(a) Can either the Trapezoidal Rule or Simpson's Rule be used to calculate the area of the algae growth?
(b) When either the Trapezoidal Rule or Simpsons Rule can he used, which is usually more accurate?
(c) Use Simpsons Rule to approximate the area of the algae growth.

I find it helpful to think of a polygon's perimeter as the length of its boundary. 62. If a polygon is not regular, I can determine the sum of the measures of its angles, but not the measure of any one of its angles. 63.
