Base: region bounded by (y = \sin x), (y = 0), (x=0), (x=\pi). Cross sections perpendicular to the x‑axis are semicircles (diameter in base). Find volume.

For cross sections :
Common cross‑section shapes (when slices are perpendicular to the axis): volume by cross section practice problems pdf
Here, (s) is typically the length of the cross‑section at a given (x) or (y), found as the difference between two bounding curves. Problem: The base of a solid is the region bounded by (y = \sqrtx), (y = 0), and (x = 4). Cross‑sections perpendicular to the x‑axis are squares whose bases lie in the base region. Find the volume. Base: region bounded by (y = \sin x),
