Let
a
be a positive number. The region between the curves
y=x^(2)
and
y=2a^(2)-x^(2)
is the base of a solid (see diagram). Its cross sections, perpendicular to the
x
-axis are squares with one side in the base.. If the volume of the solid is
(2)/(15)~~0.13
, what is the value of
a
? Show and explain your work.
