4. A pool is in the shape of an octagon (see Figure I in thediagrams page, measurements in feet).(a) Place the octagon in the xy−plane, with the center of theoctagon at the origin, (0, 0), and one of the vertices of theoctagon at the point on the x−axis,(10, 0). See Figure II in theattached diagrams page. Use the techniques of area between curves(integrals), to find the area of the shaded triangle in thediagram. This will give you 1/8 of the total area of theoctagon.
(b) Multiply your answer in part (a) by 8 to get the total areaof the octagon.
(c) Suppose a pool has the shape of the octagon above and anoverall height of10 feet (See Figure I in the diagrams page).Further suppose that the depthof the water in the pool is 9 feet deep. Find the work done to pumpall of the water out of the pool. First, set this up as a RiemannSum, finding the work Wi required to pump the ith slice of water,of width ∆x, out of the pool. Then, set up the correspondingintegral and integrate to find the work done to pump all of thewater out of the pool. Use the fact that water
