Extending Riemann sums and iterated integration to functions of three variables, computing volumes and masses of solid regions.
4 exercises
Activity 12.7.2
Set up and evaluate an iterated integral that will evaluate the triple integral of over the box .
Activity 12.7.4
There are several other ways to set up the integral to give the mass of the tetrahedron in Example.
Exercise 28
Consider the solid that lies between the paraboloids and .
By eliminating the variable , determine the curve of intersection between the two paraboloids, and sketch this curve in the -plane.
Set up, but do not evaluate, an iterated integral expression whose value determines the mass of the solid, integrating first with respect to , then , then . Assume the the solid's density is given by .

Exercise 29
In each of the following problems, your task is to
Sketch, by hand, the region over which you integrate
set up iterated integral expressions which, when evaluated, will determine the value sought
use appropriate technology to evaluate each iterated integral expression you develop
In some problems you may be able to use a double rather than a triple integral, and polar coordinates may be helpful in som…
