Theory and Examples

a. Express the area A of the cross-section cut from the ellipsoid

by the plane z = c as a function of c. (The area of an ellipse with semiaxes a and b is  )

b. Use slices perpendicular to the z-axis to find the volume of the ellipsoid in part (a).

c. Now find the volume of the ellipsoid

Does your formula give the volume of a sphere of radius a if a = b = c?
