Using the formula A = Πr2 the area of the circle is 3.14 in2.

Find the area of the circle using the trapezoidal rule and only the values of distance of 0.000 in., 0.500 in., 1.000 in., 1.500 in., and 2.000 in. with the corresponding values of the chord lengths. Explain why the value found is less than 3.14 in2.
