Integrate by horizontal slices. At a fixed height , the parabolic boundary gives ; the other inequality gives . Thus the cross-section is a rectangle of area
The volume integral, followed by integration by substitution , is
This has units of volume. As a check on the geometry, the width decreases with height while the length of the horizontal slice increases from zero to .
