HELP WITH VOLUME!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A solid lies between planes perpendicular to the x-axis at x=0 and x=3 The cross-sections perpendicular to the axis on the interval 0<x<3 are squares whose diagonals run from the parabola y=-sqrt{x} to the parabola y=sqrt{x}

Note that a diagonal has length √x - (-√x) = 2√x. So, to find the length of a side of th square (call it L), we have L^2 + L^2 = (2√x)^2 ==> 2L^2 = 4x ==> L = √(2x). Hence, a square has area √(2x)^2 = 2x. --------------- Therefore, the volume of the solid equals ∫(x = 0 to 3) 2x dx = x^2 {for x = 0 to 3} = 9.
