[QUOTE="jisbon, post: 6246985, member: 665126"] [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Base of solid is the region bounded by graphs ##y= \sqrt x## and ##y=x/2##. The cross sections perpendicular to the x axis are squares whose sides run across the base of the solid. Find volume of solid. [B]Relevant Equations:[/B] - [B]Homework Statement:[/B] Base of solid is the region bounded by graphs ##y= \sqrt x## and ##y=x/2##. The cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares whose sides run across the base of the solid. Find volume of solid. [B]Homework Equations:[/B] - As stated above, I will want to calculate the coordinates of the two graphs intersecting, and found them to be x=0 and x=4. However, the equation ## \pi \int_{0}^{4} (\sqrt x - x/2) ^2##seems to be wrong. Referring to my answer key, the answer was simply## \int_{0}^{4} (\sqrt x - x/2)^2## without the pi. Why is this so? Thanks [/QUOTE]
