- Find the exact volume of the solid that results when the triangular region with vertices at 0, 0, 6, 0 and 6, 4 is rotated about the a x-axis b y-axisarrow_forwardFind the exact volume of the solid that results when the rectangular region with vertices at 0, 0, 6, 0, 6, 4 and 0, 4 is revolved about the a x-axis b y-axisarrow_forwardA storage shed is in the shape of a trapezoidal prism. Each trapezoid represents one of its bases. With dimensions as shown, what is the storage capacity volume of its interior?arrow_forward
- An ellipse centered at the origin is described by the equation x2 /a2 + y2/ b2 = 1, where a and b are positive constants. If the upper half of such an ellipse is revolved about the x-axis, the resulting surface is an ellipsoid. a. Use the washer method to find the volume of an ellipsoid (in terms of a and b). Check your work using the shell method. b. Both American and rugby union footballs have the shape of ellipsoids. The maximum regulation size of a rugby union football corresponds to parameters of a = 6 in and b = 3.82 in, and the maximum regulation size of an American football corresponds to parameters of a = 5.62 in and b = 3.38 in. Find the volume of each football. c. Fill in the blank: At their maximum regulation sizes, the volume of a rugby union football has approximately_______________ times the volume of an American football.arrow_forwardplan z=1arrow_forwardThe fuel tank on a truck has trapezoidal cross sections with the dimensions (in feet) shown in the figure below.
