Volumes of solids with known cross sections 4-4
Cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis Where A is a function of x and gives the area of a representative cross section Usually squares, semicircles, trapezoids, triangles, or rectangles
Cross sections perpendicular to the y-axis Where A is a function of y and gives the area of a representative cross section
Area formulas for common cross sections Square Rectangle Semicircle Triangle Equilateral Triangle
