Answer

$$ V\approx 20~\text{acre ft} =871,200 \text{ ft}^3 $$

Work Step by Step

Since $$V=\int_{0}^{18} A(h) d h$$ From the given table, $\Delta x=2$. Then, by using $T_9$, we get \begin{align*} T_{n}&=\dfrac{1}{2}\left[f(x_0)+2f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+..+2f(x_{n-1})+f(x_n)\right]\Delta x\\ T_{9}&= \left[f(x_0)+2f(x_1)+2f(x_2)+\cdots+2f(x_{8})+f(x_9)\right]\Delta x\\ &= \left[f(0)+2f(2)+2f(4)+2f(6)+2f(8)+2f(10)+2f(12)+2f(14)+2f(16)+f(18)\right] \\ &\approx 20 \text{arce ft} \end{align*} Hence $$ V\approx 20~ \text{acre ft} =871,200 \text{ ft}^3 $$
