Question:

To determine the amount of water flowing down a certain 100-yard-wide river, engineers need to know the area of a vertical cross section of the river. Measurements of the depth of the river were made every 20 yards from one bank to the other. The readings in fathoms were 0, 1, 2, 3, 1, 0. (One fathom equals 2 yards.) Use the trapezoidal rule to estimate the area of the cross section.
