Distance = velocity * time, left-hand sum gives d = L4 = (25 + 20 + 16 + 12) * (1 sec width of each rectangle) = 73.

asked 04/19/21A biker is slowing down according to the following table of velocities:
| Time (secs) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Velocity (feet/sec) | 25 | 20 | 16 | 12 | 10 |
Approximate the distance traveled, in feet, during these 4 seconds using 4 rectangles and a Left Riemann Sum.
20.75
58
73
83
