Question

We constructed Riemann sums from vertical rectangles to calculate the area under a curved line. Would it possible to find the area under a curved line using a sum of horizontal rectangles instead?

Answer 1

off hand i would say no, but i could be wrong.

Answer 2

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 3

Oh yeah of course it is I have done it before too

Answer 4

you do not have "base times height" for these rectangles. i mean you do for some of them, but look at the ones up top. they are in pieces. like i said, i could be wrong, but i can't imagine how you could do this
of course you can integrate with respect to the y -axis

Answer 5

oh ishaan u know abt this stuff?

Answer 6

Yeah area under curve I didn't know it's riemann

Answer 7

you would have to have a curve that you could write as x is a function of y though right?

Answer 8

Yeah right

Answer 9

well i have to post so i can write when it is possible

Answer 10

and explain when it isn't possible

Answer 11

My teacher neways always marks it correct
