Question

In the attached photo, you can see the solution for the volume between the y=x^2 and y = 1. My question is, why is A(y) = (2x)^2 ? I do not understand where the 2x comes from, my belief was that A(y) = x^2 and I just went from there, I am confused as to where the 2x came from. 

The region enclosed by the curves y =x and y = 1 is shown below:
Cross section area of the solid perpendicular to y-axis = A(y)
A(y) = (2x) = 4x = 4y
Now, vohume of the required solid is
V = [ A(y)dy
= 4 ycy
