The volume, however, changes with time since it is a function of t. As a result,
when we integrate this result with regard to t, we are adding up all of the varied
volumes across time. Consider the case of a balloon that is being inflated. We may
use a double integral to compute the volume of any object at any point in time.
However, we must utilize a triple integral as explained above to total up all the
volumes across the full inflation process. In the same way that a double integral
can be used to represent an area, triple integrals can be used to represent a
volume. In the triple integral
