a. Estimate the total calories per square centimet
each day for the cliff in summer. Use rectangles
with widths of 1 hr, starting with 8:15 A.M., and wit
the last rectangle (ending at 3:45) with a width of
1
2
hr. Use the left endpoints, then the
right endpoints, then give the average of those
answers.
Using the left endpoints yields a total of
approximately cal/cm² each day.
