Hi,
I have the following question:
How do you use the end or right end point method to find the area under the curve if you do not have any of the x and y values excepts that the rectangle strips are of 50 cm (it is not precised if it is the width or wide).
Thank you in advance :):)

Do you get the equation of the curve? If so, and the X axis is, lets say, measured in centimetres, then you can find the points to use simply by subbing in the endpoints of each rectangle. e.g. f(50) = y point at x=50
=> First rectangle is at (50,f(50)) => 50*f(50)
=> Second rectangle is at (100,f(100)) => 50*f(100) etc...
