The volume of the given solid is 8/3 cubic units.
How the volume of the solid was calculated
To find the volume of the solid bounded by the planes z = x, y = x, (x + y = 4), and z = 0
Let's set up a triple integral using the given bounds.
The region in the xy-plane is a triangle formed by the lines (y = x), (x + y = 4), and the x-axis.
y = x intersects x + y = 4
when x = 2
The limits for x is from 0 to 2.
For y it goes from 0 to x within this region.
Now, for z, it goes from z = 0 to z = x.
The volume V can be expressed as the triple integral:
V = ∫₀²∫₀ˣ∫₀ˣ{dzdydx}
Evaluate this integral to find the volume. Starting with the innermost integral:
∫₀ˣdz = x
Then, integrate with respect to y.
∫₀ˣ xdy = xy
[xy]₀ˣ = x²
Integrate with respect to x.
∫₀²x²dx = [1/3x³]₀²
= 1/3(2³) - 1/3(0³)
= 8/3 - 0
= 8/3
So, the volume of the given solid is 8/3 cubic units
