	A volume of revolution		2012-01-11
		From john: find volume of solid generated by revolving the region in the first quadrant bounded by the curve y squared=x cubed, the line x=4 and the x-axis about the line y=8. The answer in the back of the book is 704 pi divided by5 Answered by Penny Nom.
	May Lee's cake		2010-09-18
		From Wafa: May Lee bought a cake which is circular in shape. Her sister ate a quarter of the cake. Given that the area of the top surface of the remaining portion is 520 square cm, find the diameter of the cake. Answered by Penny Nom.
	A bowl is the shape of a hemisphere		2008-04-28
		From josh: a bowl is the shape of a hemisphere with diameter 30 cm and water is poured into the bowl to a height h cm. how do i find the volume of the water in the bowl Answered by Harley Weston.
	A volume of revolution		2007-04-08
		From christina: find the volume of the solid formed when region bounded by y=x/3, y=2 and the y-axis. it is revolved about the x-axis. the assignment was to use both the washer method and the shell method but when i solved for the volume, i got different answers. i think my shell method is wrong because i know i'm having difficulties with using "dy" instead of "dx" here's my work so far: Answered by Penny Nom.
	A non-rerctangular lot		2005-01-18
		From EM: One corner of a 60X120 foot lot, otherwise rectangular, is a curve with a radius of 20 feet and a central angle of 90 degrees. What is the area? Answered by Penny Nom.
	A rectangle on a disk		2003-10-29
		From Arthur: How do I go about solving the following problem: What is the width of the largest rectangle with a length of 16 inches you can cut from a circular piece of cardboard having a 10 inch radius? Answered by Penny Nom.
	Volumes		1998-08-29
		From Lorraine Wall: Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x and y axes, the vertical line x=3 and the curve y = 1 / (x squared + 3). Determine the volume of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Now that is the first part. I then have to find the coordinates of the centroid of the solid by rotating this region about the x-axis. Thanks. Lorraine Answered by Harley Weston.
	Volumes of Revolution		1998-07-24
		From Lorraine Wall: I'm on the section fpr The Computation of Volumes of Solids of Revolution and the following question is giving me problems: -Consider the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x-and y-axes, the vertical line x=3, and the curve y=1/(xsquared + 3) I can determine the volume of the solid by rotating the region about the y-axis using the shell method but I can't seem to be able to get started with the volume when rotated about the x-axis.
