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

Volume is a three-dimensional scalar quantity. The volume of the cube with side length of 4 inches is 64 inches³.
<h3>What is volume?</h3>
A volume is a scalar number that expresses the amount of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface.
Given the volume of a cube is the cube of the length of a side. If a side is S, the volume is S^3. Therefore, the volume of cube with side 4 inches will be,
Volume of the cube = (4 in)³ = 64 in³
Hence, the volume of the cube with side length of 4 inches is 64 inches³.
