1) Discuss Simpson’s 1/3 Rule

Simpson's Rule of Thirds is a clever method for calculating the area under a curve with
rectangles.

Details:
Consider a graph that illustrates a change in a certain variable over time, such as a growing
plant's height. We may estimate the total area beneath that graph using Simpson's 1/3 Rule.

-We divide the region beneath the curve into rectangle pairs.
-After that, we make a mini-triangle form for every pair.
-To determine the overall area under the curve, we sum the areas of each of these mini-
triangles.
-The reason it's named the 1/3 Rule is that we employ groups of two rectangles, or roughly one-
third of all the rectangles.

2) Discuss Simpson’s 3/8 Rule


Synopsis:
Another creative method for estimating the area under a curve is Simpson's 3/8 Rule, which
uses groups of four rectangles instead of one.

Details:
Consider the same graph once more, but this time Simpson's 3/8 Rule will be used to estimate
the area.

-Rectangles are grouped in groups of four rather than pairs.


-We use each set of four rectangles to form a curving top shape.
-The total area under the curve is then estimated by adding the areas of each of these curved
tops.
-Since we're working with groups of four rectangles, or three-eighths of the total rectangles,
this rule is known as the 3/8 Rule.

Without having to measure every little aspect, these rules allow us to better comprehend how
things evolve over time. They resemble quick cuts for calculating the areas under curves.
