Document Summary

We know how to compute the volume of: rect. box v = l w h, cylinder v = r2 h. Both are in the form area x height=volume; this works well because the area is constant. Consider a solid object lying along the x-axis between x = a and x = b. chop the interval into n subintervals of length x = b a n . On each subinterval [xi 1, xi] take a sample point x i . At x i , look at the cross-sectional area of the solid in a plane perpendicular to the x-axis, a(x i ). The volume of the object on this subinterval is: Then the total volume is vi pn i=1 a(x i ) x. The approxima- tion becomes exact as n or x 0. A(x)dx, where a(x) is the cross sectional area in a plane.
