  1. When \(n = 4\)
    14
    1. State the number of ordinates that Caroline uses. 14
  2. (ii) Calculate the area that Caroline should obtain using this method.
    Give your answer correct to two decimal places.
    14
  3. Show that the exact area of \(A\) is $$16 - \ln 17$$ Fully justify your answer.
