Cross Sections Worksheet 8.7

π π
1. The base of a solid is bounded by y = cos(x) , the x-axis, − ≤x≤ . Cross sections perpendicular

to the x-axis are squares. Find the volume.

2. The base of a solid is bounded by y = 2 − x , the x-axis, and the y-axis. Cross sections that are
perpendicular to the x-axis are isosceles right triangles with the right angle on the x-axis. (Legs
perpendicular to the x-axis). Find the volume.

3. The base of a solid is bounded by the semi-circle y = 4 − x and the x-axis. Cross sections that are
perpendicular to the x-axis are squares. Find the volume.

4. The base of a solid is bounded by y = 16 − x and the x-axis. Cross sections that are perpendicular to
the y-axis are equilateral triangles. Find the volume.

5. The base of a solid is a circular region in the xy-plane bounded by the graph x + y = 9 . Find the
volume of the solid if every cross section by a plane normal to the x-axis is an equilateral triangle with one
side as the base.

6. The base of a solid is circular region in the xy-plane bounded by the graph of x + y = 9 . Find the
volume of the solid if every cross section by a plane normal to the x-axis is a square with one side as the
base.
