1. A series of perpendicular offsets were taken from a transit line to a curved boundary line.
These offsets were taken 10m apart in the following order: 0.0, 1.6, 3.4, 3.8, 5.9, 6.5, 5.7, 4.2, 2.4,
1.1, and 0.0. Required:

H 0.0 1.6 3.4 3.8 5.9 6.5 5.7 4.2 2.4 1.1 0.0
𝐻0 𝐻1 𝐻2 𝐻3 𝐻4 𝐻5 𝐻6 𝐻7 𝐻8 𝐻9 𝐻10

a. Area by Trapezoidal Formula

𝐻0 +𝐻𝑁
A=d[ + 𝐻1 + 𝐻2 + 𝐻3 + 𝐻4 … 𝐻𝑁−1 ]
2

0.0+0.0
A = 10[ + 1.6 + 3.4 + 3.8 + 5.9 + 6.5 + 5.7 + 4.2 + 2.4 + 1.1]
2

A = 346

b. Area by Simpsons Rule

𝑑
A = 3 [ (𝐻0 + 𝐻𝑁 ) + 4(𝐻1 + 𝐻3 … 𝐻𝑛−1 ) + 2(𝐻4 + 𝐻6 … 𝐻𝑛−2 ) ]

10
A= [(0.0 + 0.0) + 4(1.6 + 3.8 + 6.5 + 4.2 + 1.1) + 2(3.4 + 5.9 + 5.7 + 2.4)]

A = 345.33

2. A series of perpendicular offsets were taken from a transit line to a curved boundary line. These
offsets were taken 9 meters apart and in the following order: 2.0, 3.2, 4.0, 3.5, 5.0, 4.50, 6.0 and
7m. Make a sketch and determine the area by trapezoidal rule.
H 2.0 3.2 4 3.5 5.0 4.5 6.0 7.0
𝐻0 𝐻1 𝐻2 𝐻3 𝐻4 𝐻5 𝐻6 𝐻7

𝐻0 +𝐻𝑁
A=d[ 2
+ 𝐻1 + 𝐻2 + 𝐻3 + 𝐻4 … 𝐻𝑁−1 ]

2+7
A=9[ + 3.2 + 4 + 3.5 + 5 + 4.5 + 6]
2

A = 276.3
3. Find the area of the figure shown using

a. Trapezoidal Rule

𝐻0 +𝐻𝑁
A=d[ + 𝐻1 + 𝐻2 + 𝐻3 + 𝐻4 … 𝐻𝑁−1 ]
2

12.22+10.35
A = 20 [ + 11.32 + 8.82 + 6.62 + 16.38]
2

A = 1088.50

b. Simpsons One Third Rule (Assume the last 2 offsets as trapezoid)

𝑑
A= [ (𝐻0 + 𝐻𝑁 ) + 4(𝐻1 + 𝐻3 … 𝐻𝑛−1 ) + 2(𝐻4 + 𝐻6 … 𝐻𝑛−2 ) ]
3

20 16.38+10.35
A= [(12.22 + 16.38) + 4(11.32 + 6.62) + 2(8.82) + (( )) (20)]
3 2

A = 1053.97
