Let V be the volume of a right circular cone of height h = 8 whose base is a circle of radius R = 2. (a) Use similar triangles to find the area of a horizontal cross section at a height y. Give your answer in terms of y. (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.) (b) Calculate V by integrating the cross-sectional area. (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)
