How do you find the area of everything under the curve and what is the area?

have you taken calculus?

What does "area" mean?

No it’s not for homework. One of my Skype friends said he wanted to know the answer and I said I’d ask the smartest people I know.

Fool, you expect to be able to answer the question without defining "how" first.

Find the equation that models your curve. Then integrate. You can use wolfram as a calculator.

If you don't know the function then riemann sums

Import the image into Autocad and measure the area in there.

just count all the points one at a time :^)

•get an accurate scale
•print out the graph
•weigh the paper
•cut out the part under the curve & weight that
now you know how much of the chart is under the curve

Like this. Define your x-axis range (extend it to say -0.5 and +0.5. Extend y-axis to 10. Then the total area of the graph is 10 units. Count the number of pixels within this graph. Then shade everything under the curve red. Count the number of red pixels.

Area = 10 * (# of red pixels)/(# of total pixels)

Use Tai's method.

Draw a box around the curve. Then throw some darts in it. Count the number of darts under the curve and divide that by the total number of darts. Multiply with the area of the box. The result is the area under the curve. This is how physicists and engineers do it. I dunno about mathematicians or other virgins though.

Hehe remember that nurse who accidentally came up with integrals on her own when she was trying to figure out how to calculate the area under some kind of a diabetes-related curve?
