Do you mean the x-coordinates of the boundaries of the strips?

For the length of each individual strip, you need to divide the length of your total restriction into the number of strips. In your case, your total length is 1 unit and you need 5 strips so that's 0.2 units each. This means that you're cutting at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8. Using these you can then apply either trapezoidal or Simpson's rules for an approximation of the area under your curve.

My teacher gave me this trick a while ago:

Hold up your fingers in front of you. Four fingers, but only three spaces.

The spaces between the fingers are the strips. The fingers are the function values. There's always one more function value than strip.

So, if you need 5 strips, you'll have 6 function values.

Maybe that helps a bit.
