Volume by Cross Section
6.3 Volume by slicing
Note: Section numbers refers to Calculus, Early Transcendentals (2nd edition) by Briggs, Cochran, and Gillett.
These prints illustrate a solid whose base is the region bounded by
The cross sections perpendicular to the base and parallel to the x-axis are squares.
While it is possible to find the volume of this shape by via a cross section integral formula without ever visualizing it, it is a more satisfying experience if it is clear what it looks like.
