The width of each rectangle is found by taking the difference between the endpoints and
dividing by n. Here, the width of each rectangle is = .
We find the heights of the rectangles by evaluating y = 2x − x^2 at the appropriate endpoints
= ; = ; =
; and y(2) = 2(2) − (2)^2 = 0.
Therefore, the area is = .

First, let’s draw a picture.
