Answer

$\dfrac{3}{4} \ sq. unit$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $f(x)=\int_1^2 \dfrac{x}{2} \ dx$ Here. the area of a trapezoid is equal to $A= \int_1^2 ( \dfrac{x}{2} ) \ dx$ $=\dfrac{1}{2} \times (a+b) \times Height$ $=\dfrac{1}{2} (\dfrac{1}{2}+1)(1)$ Thus, $\int_1^2 (\dfrac{x}{2}) \ dx=\dfrac{3}{4} \ sq. unit$
