Use the general slicing method to find the volume of the following solids.
The solid whose base is the triangle with vertices (0, 0), (2, 0), and (0, 2), and whose cross sections perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis are semicircles

First, identify the region in the xy-plane that forms the base of the solid. The base is the triangle with vertices at (0,0), (2,0), and (0,2). The boundary lines are the x-axis (y=0), y-axis (x=0), and the line connecting (2,0) to (0,2), which can be expressed as y = 2 - x.
Since the cross sections are taken perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis, we consider slices at a fixed x between 0 and 2. For each x, the cross section is a semicircle whose diameter lies along the y-direction between y=0 and y=2 - x. Therefore, the diameter of the semicircle at position x is the length of the vertical segment from y=0 to y=2 - x, which is (2 - x).
The radius r of the semicircle at position x is half the diameter, so \( r = \frac{2 - x}{2} \). The area A(x) of a semicircle is half the area of a full circle, so \( A(x) = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 = \frac{1}{2} \pi \left( \frac{2 - x}{2} \right)^2 \).
To find the volume of the solid, integrate the cross-sectional area A(x) along the x-axis from x=0 to x=2: \[ V = \int_0^2 A(x) \, dx = \int_0^2 \frac{1}{2} \pi \left( \frac{2 - x}{2} \right)^2 \, dx \].
Simplify the integrand before integrating, then evaluate the definite integral to find the volume of the solid.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

General Slicing Method

The general slicing method involves finding the volume of a solid by integrating the area of cross-sectional slices taken perpendicular to an axis. Each slice's area is expressed as a function of the variable of integration, and integrating these areas over the given interval yields the total volume.

Equation of the Base Region

Understanding the base region is crucial for setting up the integral limits and the cross-sectional dimensions. Here, the base is a triangle with vertices (0,0), (2,0), and (0,2), which can be described by the line x + y = 2. This equation helps determine the length of the cross sections at each slice.

Area of Semicircular Cross Sections

The cross sections perpendicular to the base and parallel to the y-axis are semicircles. The area of a semicircle is half the area of a full circle, given by (πr²)/2, where the radius r depends on the length of the base segment at each slice. Expressing r in terms of the variable of integration is essential for the volume calculation.
