The base of a certain solid is the triangle with vertices at (-10,5), (5,5), and the origin. Cross-sections perpendicular to the y-axis are squares. What is the volume of the solid?

The volume of the solid can be determined by multiplying the base area of the triangle (87.5) by the height of the solid (10). The area of a square is its length squared (length is 10 in this case), so the volume of the solid is 875. Therefore, the volume of the solid is 875 units cubed.
