The base of a solid is the region bounded by the parabola
$$y^2=4x$$, and the line $$x=2$$ .
Each plane section perpendicular to the x-axis is square.
(I assume this means the cross-section of the solid will be square)
then we are not revolving but slicing.
The volume of the solid is? (the ans is 32) I looked at an example the book but didn't understand how the integral was set up.
