Explanation of Solution

The volume of a solid of integrable cross-sectional area A(x) from x=a to x=b is the integral of A from a to b,

V=abA(x)dx

Calculate the volume of a solid as follows:

  • Sketch the solid and a typical cross section.
  • Calculate the area of a typical cross-section.
  • Calculate the limits of integration.
  • Integrate the area of cross section to find the volume.

Example:

Consider the diagonal of the square runs from the parabola y=x to the parabola y=x.

Consider the solid lies between planes normal to the x axis at x=0 and x=4.

The shape of the cross section is square.

Calculate the cross sectional area A(x) as follows:

A(x)=(Diagonal)22=(x(x))22=2x

Calculate the volume of the solid using the formula:

Substitute 2x for A(x), 0 for a, and 4 for b

V=abA(x)dx=042xdx=2(x22)04=16

Therefore, the volume of the solid is 16_.
