given that the
maximum length of the lake = 63.49km
maximum width of the lake = 22.8km
maximum depth of the lake = 104m
shore length of the lake = 235.2km
surface elevation of the lake = 85.6km
we use the trapezoidal rule to find the estimated surface area of the lake
evaluate a definite integral ab∫f(x)dx.
Let f(x) be continuous on [a,b]. We partition the interval [a,b] into n equal subintervals, each of width
Δx=b−a / n,
such that a=x0<x1<x2<⋯<xn=b.
The Trapezoidal Rule for approximating ba∫f(x)dx is given by
ab∫f(x)dx≈Tn=Δx2[f(x0)+2f(x1)+2f(x2)+⋯+2f(xn−1)+f(xn)],
where Δx=b−an and xi=a+iΔx.
As n→∞, the right-hand side of the expression approaches the definite integral b∫af(x)dx.
here let us consider length ab as shore length ie 235.2km
divide shore length into 2 it becomes 117.6 km
Tn=117.6/2(0+2(22.8))
= 117.6/2(45.6)
= 5,362.56/2
= 2681.28000 km
this is the estimated surface area of a lake.
