If the problem seems to require calculus, use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution. STEP 1: Consider the figure in part (a). Since this region is simply a triangle, you may use precalculus methods to solve this part of the problem. First determine the height of the triangle and the length of the triangle's base. height 4 units units base 5 STEP 2: Compute the area of the triangle by employing a formula from precalculus, thus finding the area of the shaded region in part (a). 10 square units STEP 3: Consider the figure in part (b). Since this region is defined by a complicated curve, the problem seems to require calculus. Find an approximation of the shaded region by using a graphical approach.
