[Math] Triple integral over a pyramid

integrationmultivariable-calculus

I want to calculate the integral $\iiint_D (1-z^2)dxdydz$ where $D$ is the pyramid with vertices $(0,0,0)$, $(1,0,0)$, $(0,1,0)$, $(1,1,0)$ and $(0,0,1)$.

Is the pyramid the following?

enter image description here

Can only $C$ be the top of the pyramid?

How can we find the limits of $x,y,z$ that we have to use an the integrals?

Best Answer

The equation of plane $ADC$ is $x+z=1$.

The equation of plane $BDC$ is $y+z=1$.

$$\iiint_D (1-z^2)dxdydz= \int_0^1\int_0^x\int_0^{1-x}(1-z^2)\,dz\,dy\,dx+\int_0^1\int_x^1\int_0^{1-y}(1-z^2)\,dz\,dy\,dx$$
