The trapezoidal rule is named for the shape of the geometric figure it uses to approximate the area under a curve. Specifically, it approximates the integral of a function by dividing the area into trapezoids rather than rectangles. By calculating the area of these trapezoids and summing them up, the rule provides an estimate of the total area under the curve. This method is particularly effective for functions that are relatively linear over small intervals.
