The base of a solid is an elliptical region
.
Cross sections perpendicular to the -axis are isosceles right triangles with hypotenuse on base.
Draw the top view of the solid with parallel cross sections of length as and radius of the base
is on -axis..
Observe the figure,
\From the pythagotrean theorem, .
Consider the side of the isosceles triangle as .
.
Area of the cross section is
.
Consider .
.
Substitute in
.
.
Find the volume of the solid by integrating the area with respect to over the limits
to
.
Volume of the solid is .
Volume of the solid is .
