Calculating double integrals over a rectangular region without using built in function.

I am trying to create a function that calculates the double integral of a function over a rectangular region. I know there is a built in function but i need to create code instead of using built in function.. The test cases im using include f = x*y with 2<x<5 and 0<y<1 with the actual answer being 3 and test case #2 is f = x*y^2 1<x<5 0<y<2 with the actual answer being 64. What i currently have is this but i get the wrong answers.
I was going by this idea presented in a reading i did but im not sure if im missinterpreting whats supposed to be done.

Your code looks like it should work. The problem is in your assumptions. The double integral over the given area calculates a volume. The volume under f=x*y over the given region isn't 3, it's 5.25. The volume under the second function over its region is 32. For N=1000, the estimate is reasonably close.

Ahh i see now then, i was after this in particular, how should i modify my code?
Just change the integration limits that you're passing to the function.
