This video tutorial explains how to determine the volume of a solid using the method of slices, integrating with respect to y. The base of the solid is defined by two curves, and the cross sections are semi-circles perpendicular to the y-axis. The tutorial covers setting up the integral, calculating the radius of the semi-circles, finding the antiderivative, and computing the final volume. The process involves algebraic verification of limits and detailed steps to solve the integral, resulting in the volume of the solid.
