A solid has cross sections that are squares. The side lengths of the square cross sections are equal to x^2, where 0≤x≤1. Suppose the solid is divided by planes perpendicular to the x-axis into five pieces of equal thickness, and each slice is replaced by a square prism of thickness 0.2, and side lengths equal to xi^2, where xi ∈{0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9}. Which of the following best represents the volume of this object that approximates the original solid?

A. 0.113

B. 0.193

C. 0.313

D. 0.330

E. 0.440

Answer:

A) D- 0.330

B) D- 0.333

Explanation:

Part A

0.2 × (0.1² + 0.3² + 0.5² + 0.7² + 0.9²)

= 0.330

B) integrate x²

x³/3

Limits 0 to 1

1/3 - 0

1/3

0.333
