Math Subject For Middle School - 8th Grade - Systems of Equations by Slidesgo

The trapezoidal rule approximates the area under a curve by dividing it into trapezoids and adding their areas. It represents the area as a sum of terms involving the interval width and function values at interval endpoints and midpoints. The document provides examples of using the trapezoidal rule formula to calculate areas of trapezoids and the total area under a curve. It emphasizes that the trapezoidal rule only approximates areas, not calculating them exactly like Simpson's rule.

INTRODUCTION
Learning Outcome 1.1 Explain the trapezoidal rule for the area under a
curve in terms of the number of ordinates, the interval and the ordinate
value
What is Trapezoid
The trapezoidal rule is an integration rule used to calculate the area under a
curve by dividing the curve into small trapezoids. A flat shape with 4
straight sides with one pair of parallel sides.

Notations:
a represents the base
b represents the base
h represents the height
Another form of trapezoid
The Two Angles are 90 Degrees
Problem Solving: In a trapezoid, the bases’ measurements are 15
meters and 20 meters correspondingly. The height of the trapezoid is
18 meters. What is the area of the trapezoid?

20 meters
15 meters

18 meters
Problem Solving: In a trapezoid, the bases’ measurements are 15
meters and 20 meters correspondingly. The height of the trapezoid is
18 meters. What is the area of the trapezoid?

or
Solution: Solution:

Area = (a + b) Area = h ()
= (15 + 20) = 18 () = 18
= 9 (35) (17.5)
= 315 sq. m = 315 sq. m
The Trapezoidal rule
Is a procedure or formula used for solving the area under curve. It
merely APPROXIMATES the region under the graph of a
function as a trapezoid, thus, trapezoidal rule does not give
accurate value of area compared to Simpson’s rule.

It follows the pattern:

1 2 2 . . . . 2 2 1
Importance
Trapezoidal rule
trapezoidal rule is a technique for approximating the definite integral. The trapezoidal
rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f(x) as a
trapezoid and calculating its area.

calculations associated with the stability
of the ship because it measures the
waterplane area which is relevant in
calculation thereof.
