Textbook Question
Chapter 4.7, Problem 17MS
Doughnuts in dimensions. Suppose we have a mysterious object in four dimensions. If we slice the object in half with a 3-dimensional slice, we’d see the surface of a hollow doughnut.
If we take a 3-dimensional slice just above or below that first slice, we’d see the surface of another doughnut-this one thinner than the first.
As we slice higher (and lower) we see doughnuts whose waistlines get thinner and thinner, until finally we just see a circle.
What is the 4-dimensional object if we know the level 3-dimensional slices? Why is the answer “a circle of spheres”?

61. You want to purchase both parcels of land shown in the figure
and make a quick check on their combined area. There is
no equation for the river frontage, so you use the average of
