let's recall Cavalieri's Principle, <u>solids with equal altitudes and cross-sectional areas at each height have the same volume</u>, so even though this cylinder is slanted with a height = x and a radius = 8, the cross-sectional areas from the bottom to top are the same thickness and thus the same area, so its volumewill be the same as a cylinder with the same height and radius that is not slanted.
