Why did he take the average this way? He could just add all the numbers to each other than multiplies by their count. And when I did it I got a different answer. (10+15+13+9+32+10+25+0)/8= 6982.5. I would really appreciate an explanation.

= 12.5cm
= 14cm
11cm
20.5cm
= 21cm
= 17.5cm
12.5cm
therefore
total area in
cm² =
h₁ × 10 + h₂ × 10 + h3 × 10 + h4 × 10 + h5 × 10 + h6 × 10 + h7 × 10
area
= 12.5 x 70+ 14 x 70 + 11 × 70 + 20.5 x 70 + 21 x 70+ 17.5 × 70+ 12.5 × 70
area= 7,630cm²
