Volumes of Solids with Known Cross Sections - An Exploration in Calculus
One of the topics that is difficult for students to grasp is finding the volume of a solid with a known cross section. One reason is that students have difficulty with this topic is that they have difficulty drawing the solid. In this activity the students get to build eight different "solids.”This activity focuses on finding the volume of solids that are built on a two-dimensional surface when cross section cut perpendicular to a known shape. The activity uses the region bounded by the x-axis,
