y=x

and

y=4-x

for

0\le x\le2

, if cross sections perpendicular to the

x

-axis are equilateral triangles? (a)

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}\frac{\pi}{8}\,(4-2x)^2\,dx

(b)

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\,(4-2x)\,dx

(c)

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\,(4-2x)^2\,dx

(d)

\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\,(4-x)^2\,dx
