find the volume of the solid whose cross section is perpendicular to the x axis from isosceles right triangles and has a leg that run from the lines y=-x to the line y=.5x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i cant quite make out the question.... you got a pic for it?

myininaya (myininaya):

make a pic :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No pic was given.. How do I make the pic?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i know what they mean individually but when you put them all together it just goes kaboom!!

myininaya (myininaya):

so the legs are congruent

myininaya (myininaya):

not the hyp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thanks for the help..

myininaya (myininaya):

ok so the hyp=2x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just not sure where to place the "triangle".....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre welcome...good luck :)

myininaya (myininaya):

don't leave

myininaya (myininaya):

myininaya (myininaya):

i found the area of base of the solid is x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

myininaya (myininaya):

do you know to find the limits?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
