Find the volume of a solid whose base is the circle x2 + y2 = 4 and where cross sections perpendicular to the x-axis are all squares whose sides lie on the base of the circle. First, find the length of a side of the square the distance from the curve to the x-axis is half the length of the side of the square solve for y + = = 2 2 x y 4 length of a side is : 2 2 2 y 4 x 2 4 x = 2 y 4 x ) ( ( ) 2 2 ( ) = 2 2 Area 2 4 x 4 4 x = 16 4 2 Volume x dx = 2 16 4 x 2
