What is the volume, in cubic units, of the solid?

The base of a solid in the first quadrant of the xy plane is a right triangle bounded by the coordinate axes and the line x + y = 4. Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the base are squares. What is the volume, in cubic units, of the solid?

"Cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the base are squares." This includes cross sections perpendicular to an axis as well as those at an angle with an axis. There is no solid satisfying this description. Do you want to restrict yourself to cross sections perpendicular to one of the three sides of the triangle?
