Volume
� 1–3 For the solid S described, do the following:
a) Sketch the base of S in the xy-plane.
b) Sketch a three-dimensional picture of S with the xy-plane as the floor.
c) Compute the volume of S.
1. The base of S is the region lying above the parabola y = x2 and below the line y = 1 over the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares.
2. The base of S is the same region as in Problem (1). Cross-sections perpendicular to the y-axis are equilateral triangles.
Hint: Integrate the cross-sectional area A(y) with respect to y. The area of an equilateral triangle of
side length a is √ 3 4 a2.
3. The base of S is the triangular region with vertices (0, 0), (3, 0), and (0, 2). Cross-sections perpendicular to the y-axis are semicircles.
