The area of an equilateral triangle of side "s" is s^2*sqrt(3)/4. So the volume of the slices in your problem is
(x - x^2)^2 * sqrt(3)/4.
Integrating from x = 0 to x = 1, we have
[(1/3)x^3 - (1/2)x^4 + (1/5)x^5]*sqrt(3)/4
= (1/30)*sqrt(3)/4 = sqrt(3)/120 = about 0.0144.
Since this seems quite small, it makes sense to ask what the base area might be...integral from 0 to 1 of (x - x^2) dx = (1/2) - (1/3) = 1/6. Yes, OK, the max height of the triangles occurs where x - x^2 = 1/4, and most of the triangles are quite a bit shorter...

Answer:
add, subtract, multiply and divide complex numbers much as we would expect. We add and subtract
complex numbers by adding their real and imaginary parts:-
(a + bi)+(c + di)=(a + c)+(b + d)i,
(a + bi) − (c + di)=(a − c)+(b − d)i.
We can multiply complex numbers by expanding the brackets in the usual fashion and using i
2 = −1,
(a + bi) (c + di) = ac + bci + adi + bdi2 = (ac − bd)+(ad + bc)i,
and to divide complex numbers we note firstly that (c + di) (c − di) = c2 + d2 is real. So
a + bi
c + di = a + bi
c + di ×
c − di
c − di =
µac + bd
c2 + d2
