1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Use a triple integral to find the volume of the solid enclosed by the cylinder z=y2 and the planes x=0, x=6, and z=16. Set up the integral in rectangular coordinates and work it out in any coordinates.




2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

I set up the triple integral using these orders of integration:

D = { (x,y,z) | 0 < x < 6, -4 < y < 4, y2 < z < 16 }

And I obtained an answer of 512. I just wanted to make sure that I did all the work correctly, and that someone more experienced could say if it is correct.
Thank you!

Your limits look good so if you didn't make any arithmetic mistakes it should be correct.
