In this report, I will explain how integration can be used to find the exact length of a constantly curving power cables, used to supply electricity from one point to another usually miles apart. By the use of integration we can divide a length of curve into infinitesimally small sections, figuring the length of each small section, and then adding up all the little length together gives us the total length of power cable required. This is useful is calculating precisely the total budget required to purchase and connect the cables between the terminals.
