Expert Solution
Step 1

If f(x) is the width of the pool at  we have.

x 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
f(x) 0 12.4 14.5 13.6 11.2 10 9.6 9.6 0

Since n=4, considered points are 0,10 , 20, 30 and 40.

Therefore respective mid points are 5, 15, 25 and 35.

Determine the subinterval length.

x=b-an=40-04=10
