An Example of Finding Cross-Sectional Volumes (10.5.2)

Question 1

• The volume of a solid with vertical cross-sections of area A(x) is V, where V = lim(B->A) A(x)dx.

Answer 1

• The volume of a solid with vertical cross-sections of area A(x) is V, where V = lim(B->A) A(x)dx.

Question 2

• The volume of a solid with horizontal cross-sections of area A(y) is V, where V = lim(B->A) A(y)dy.

Answer 2

• The volume of a solid with horizontal cross-sections of area A(y) is V, where V = lim(B->A) A(y)dy.
