Description
Purpose: Become familiar with RISC Architecture concepts, the MIPS Architecture, and QtSpim (the MIPS simulator). Points: 45 Assignment: Write a MIPS assembly language program to calculate the area of each trapezoid in a set of trapezoids. The sides should be read from wordsized aSides , cSides, and heights arrays. The result must be stored into the word-sized tAreas array. Below is the formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid: tAreas[ n] = ( heights[ n] × ( aSides[n] + cSides[ n]) 2 ) After all the trapezoid areas have been calculated, the program should find the minimum, middle value, maximum, sum, and average for the trapezoid areas array. The program must display the results to the console window. The output should look something like the following (with the correct answers displayed): MIPS Assignment #1 Program to calculate area of each trapezoid in a series of trapezoids. Also finds min, med, max, sum, and average for the trapezoid areas. 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100 2346 4294 6588 9035 10656 12684 14651 18512 21390 24231 31668 35690 39559 44454 49848 53872 56330 62746 66920 71295 106800 113120 [… display all numbers …] Trapezoid areas min = 1 Trapezoid areas med = ?

Late submissions will be subject to a ~2% reduction in points per an hour late. If you submit 1 minute – 1 hour late -2%, 1-2 hours late -4%, … , 23-24 hours late -50%. This means after 24 hours late submissions will receive an automatic 0. Program Header Block All source files must include your name, section number, assignment, NSHE number, and program description. The required format is as follows: # Name: # NSHE ID: # Section:
