The curved shape has the area of 21.9 units2. Using one triangle approximation, area was found to be 20.3 unit2, and D.O.V was 56. Second approximation was done yielding the area of 18.5 units2, with a D.O.V of 30.
a. Find Degree of Error, and ratio for first approximation?
b. Find Degree of Error, and ratio for second approximation?
c. Which approximation is the better representation of curved shape?
