Math's coursework Areas under curves. There are a number of different ways to find the area under a curve. 1. To draw a triangle OAB and work out the area of the triangle (as shown in diagram A) 2. To draw separate small rectangles under the line, work out their separate areas and then adding the areas together (as shown in diagram B) 3. To draw separate trapeziums under the line, work out their separate areas and then adding the areas together (as shown in diagram C) 4. To draw the trapezium OCBA under the line, work out the area. (as showen in diagram D) To find out the area under the line Y = X+1-4 I will be using method 4, and the formula for finding the area of a trapezium 1/2 x (A+B) x H. Area under the line Y = X Area under line Y = X with A at (1,0) Area of trapezium = 1/2 x...
