In the table below, S is the area in square meters of the cross section of a railroad track cutting through a mountain, and x meters is the corresponding distance along the line. Use the Trapezoidal Rule to find the number of cubic meters of earth removed to make the cutting from x = 0 to x = 150. See the figure below.
