Exam Question

### Objective
To calculate the total area of the ship's waterplane using the provided half-ordinates and applying Simpson's First Rule for numerical integration.
### Principle of Simpson's First Rule
Simpson's First Rule is a numerical method for approximating the definite integral of a function. In naval architecture, it is used to calculate areas and volumes from a set of equally spaced ordinates. The rule is based on approximating the area under a curve by fitting parabolic arcs through sets of three consecutive ordinates.
