Question

In the attached photo, you can see the solution for the volume between the y=x^2 and y = 1. My question is, why is A(y) = (2x)^2 ? I do not understand where the 2x comes from, my belief was that A(y) = x^2 and I just went from there, I am confused as to where the 2x came from. 

The region enclosed by the curves \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = 1 \) is shown below:

Cross-section area of the solid perpendicular to the y-axis is \( A(y) \).

\[ A(y) = (2x)^2 = 4x^2 = 4y \]

Now, the volume of the required solid is:

\[ V = \int_{a}^{b} A(y) \, dy \]

\[ = \int_{0}^{1} 4y \, dy \]

\[ = 2 \]
