Steps for Finding Volume of a Solid with Known Cross Sections • Draw the graph(s) that define the base • Determine any points of intersection and/or zeros • Sketch a representative cross section: pay attention to direction • If shapes are vertical, you will use dx • If shapes are horizontal, you will use dy • Re-write equations and find your bounds in terms of x or y (match the dx or dy) • Write an equation for the length of the line that determines the bottom of each shape • Write an equation for the area of the shape • Integral: • Solve the Integral (use your calculator unless it is a very simple integral)

The base of a solid is bounded by and x = 9. The cross sections of the solid taken perpendicular to the x-axis are squares.

The base of a solid is enclosed by y = x, y = 5, and x = 0 and the cross sections are semicircles, perpendicular to the x-axis. Find the volume of the solid.

The base of a solid is the region enclosed by a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 5 inches. Find the volume of the solid if all cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares.

A mathematician has a paperweight made so that its base is the shape of the region between the x-axis and one arch of the curve y = 2 sinx. Each cross-section perpendicular to the x-axis is a semicircle whose diameter runs from the x-axis to the curve. Find the volume of the paperweight.

The base of a solid is the region in the first quadrant bounded by the graph of y = 3 x 1/2 – x 3/2 and the x-axis. Cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are isosceles right triangles, with one leg on the xy-plane. What is the volume of the solid?

The base of a solid is the elliptical region with boundary curve 9 x 2 + 4 y 2 = 36. Cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are rectangles with height 3. Find the volume of the solid.

The base of a solid is a region bounded by the curves y = x 2 and y = 1. Cross sections perpendicular to the y-axis are semicircles. Find the volume of the solid.

The base of a solid is the region bounded by the graphs of x 2 = 16 y and y = 2. Cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are rectangles whose heights are half the size of the base.
