The video tutorial covers solving a calculus problem from the Calculus BC exam, focusing on finding the volume of a solid with a base region r. The solid's cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis are squares. The tutorial explains setting up an integral to calculate the volume and demonstrates using a graphing calculator for numerical integration. It also introduces part d, where the region models a pond's surface, and discusses calculating the pond's volume based on depth variations.

What is the shape of each cross-section perpendicular to the x-axis in the given problem?

• Rectangle

• Circle

• Square

How is the volume of the solid calculated in the problem?

• By multiplying the area of each square by a small change in y

• By subtracting the areas of the top and bottom functions
