Undergrad How Do You Calculate the Volume of a Solid with Triangular Cross Sections?
So after looking at it some more, I got: Int{0 to 4} Sqrt(3)/4 * (4 - Sqrt(x))^2 dx ? Hrmm.. ok, I just noticed I didn't use the altitude... -

Undergrad How Do You Calculate the Volume of a Solid with Triangular Cross Sections?
The base of a solid is the region bounded by the graphs of x=y^2 and x=4. "Each cross section is perpendicular to the x-axis is a triangle of altitude 2." Find the volume of the solid. That was how it was worded, I'm guessing it meant Each cross section perpendicular to the x-axis is a...
