Remember TOFE: Two times the Odds, Four times the Evens.

No idea where they got the other version from.

They didn't, you must have misread it. Look at the marking scheme.

Must have been a mistake, 2(odds)+4(evens) is what's in the log tables.

its definitely h/3 [ first + last + 2(odd) + 4(even)]

Cook!eMonster

h/3 [first+last+TOFE]

You're lucky I did this like an hour ago got 137 m^2

formula: h/3 (y1 + yn + 2(y3 + y5 ...) + 4 (y2 + y4 ...))

put it into the question:
3/3 (9 + 4 + 2(9+7) + 4(10 + 8 + 5))

which is:
1(13 + 2(16) + 4(23)) =

13 + 32 + 92 = 137. Seeing as it's area it's m^2
