The definition of a solid of unknown integrable cross section area A(x) from x = a to x = b is the integral of A from a to b,

How to Find Volumes by the Method of Slicing1. Sketch the solid and a typical cross section.

2. Find a formula for A(x).

3. Find the limits of integration.

4. Integrate A(x) to find the volume.

Example Square Cross Sections

1. A pyramid 3 m high has congruent triangular sides and a square base that is 3 m on each side. Each cross section of the pyramid parallel to the base is a square. Find the volume of the pyramid.

1. Sketch: Draw the pyramid with its vertex at the origin and its altitude along the interval 0 < x < 3.

Sketch a typical cross section at a point x between 0 and 3.

2. Find a formula for A(x):

The cross section at x is a square x meters on a side, so the formula will be:

Example Square Cross Sections

1. A pyramid 3 m high has congruent triangular sides and a square base that is 3 m on each side. Each cross section of the pyramid parallel to the base is a square. Find the volume of the pyramid.

3. Find the limits of integration:

The square goes from x = 0 to x = 3.

Cylindrical Shell MethodUse the shell method when the axis of revolution is perpendicular to the axis containing the natural interval of integration.

Instead of summing volumes of thin slices, we sum volumes of thin cylindrical shells that grow outward from the axis of revolution.

4. The region bounded by the curve y = , the x-axis, and the line x = 4 is revolved about the x-axis to generate a solid. Find the volume of the solid.
