## Problem Statement

Calculate the volumes of the bodies bounded by the surfaces.

$$
\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}+\frac{z^{2}}{144}=1, z=6, z=0
$$
## Solution

In the section of the given figure by the plane $z=$ const, there is an ellipse:

$$
\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=\frac{144-z^{2}}{144}
$$

The area of an ellipse with radii $a$ and $b$ is $\pi \cdot a \cdot b$

By the definition of the radius of an ellipse:

$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{x^{2}}{16 \cdot \frac{144-z^{2}}{144}}+\frac{y^{2}}{9 \cdot \frac{144-z^{2}}{144}}=1 \rightarrow a=\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{144-z^{2}} ; b=\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{144-z^{2}} \\
& \Rightarrow S=\pi a b=\pi \cdot \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{144-z^{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \sqrt{144-z^{2}}=\frac{\pi}{12} \cdot\left(144-z^{2}\right) \\
& V=\int_{0}^{6} S(z) d z=\frac{\pi}{12} \int_{0}^{6}\left(144-z^{2}\right) d z=\left.\frac{\pi}{12}\left(144 z-\frac{z^{3}}{3}\right)\right|_{0} ^{6}= \\
& =\frac{\pi}{12}\left(144 \cdot 6-\frac{6^{3}}{3}-144 \cdot 0+\frac{0^{3}}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi}{12}(864-72)=\frac{792 \cdot \pi}{12}=66 \pi
\end{aligned}
$$
