The two parabolas intersect for
and so the base of each solid is the set
The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, . But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to
.
a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of
where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be
where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.
b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of
We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:
Using the result of part (a), the volume is
c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is
and using the result of part (a) again, the volume is
