How can you find it using definate integrals ? I'm currently in Cal2, and all we do is areas.
Usually, people figure out the volume of an irregular object by water displacement.
In Calc2, they might be expecting something different. If they have taught approximation techniques, such as Riemann sums-- can't figure out the exact shape, but can approximate it with rectangles.
Other than that, I need more information.
You can use the definite integral to find the volume of a solid with specific cross sections on an interval, provided you know a formula for the region determined by each cross section.
