Homework Statement
The base of a solid is a circle of radius 3. Find the volume of the solid if
parallel cross-sections perpendicular to the base are isosceles right triangles with
hypotenuse lying along the base.
Homework Equations
pi * Integral Rout^2- Rin^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried to do the equation above but i believe I'm just having a problem visualizing this problem. Can someone run a step by step process in solving this equation.
I already know the answer is 36
My guess is like I find the area of triange and since the radius is 3 then that should be the hypotenuse...which then means the sides are 3/sqrt(2) the area becomes 3...and then the volume would be 2 integral of 3 from 0-6 which becomes 36
