Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Let point O be the point of intersection of the kite diagonals.
|OF| = 2, |OH| = 5
|FH| = |OF| + |OH| = 2 + 5 = 7
FH and EG are the diagonals of the kite. Hence the area of thee kite is:
Area of kite EFGH = (FH * EG) / 2
Substituting:
35 = (7 * |EG|) / 2
|EG| * 7 = 70
|EG| = 10 units
The longer diagonal of a kite bisects the shorter one, therefore |GO| = |EO| = 10 / 2 = 5 units
x = |GO| = |EO| = 5 units

See attached for a sketch of some of the cross sections.
Each cross section has area equal to the square of the side length, which in turn is the vertical distance between the curve y = √(x + 1) and the x-axis (i.e. the distance between them that is parallel to the y-axis). This distance will be √(x + 1).
If the thickness of each cross section is ∆x, then the volume of each cross section is
∆V = (√(x + 1))² ∆x = (x + 1) ∆x
As we let ∆x approach 0 and take infinitely many such cross sections, the total volume of the solid is given by the definite integral,
