Understanding 3D Figures and Calculating Volume

The video tutorial explains the process of calculating the volume of a 3D figure with a base defined by the graph of x + y = 1 in the first quadrant. It describes how cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis form semi-circles and introduces the method of approximating the volume by summing the volumes of thin discs. The tutorial further explains how to express the diameter of these discs as a function of x and calculates their area. Finally, it demonstrates the use of a definite integral to find the exact volume of the figure.
