To find the volume of the solid that results when the region enclosed by the given curves is resolved about the x-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.

First, let's sketch the region enclosed by the curves y = √(25 - x^2) and y = 3. This region is a quarter of a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 5, and it is bounded by the lines y = 3 and y = 0.

Next, we need to determine the limits of integration. Since the region is bounded by the lines y = 3 and y = 0, the limits of integration for y will be from 0 to 3.

Now, let's consider a small vertical strip at a distance x from the y-axis. The height of this strip will be the difference between the upper and lower curves, which is given by h = √(25 - x^2) - 3. The width of the strip will be dx.

The volume of the cylindrical shell can be calculated using the formula V = 2πrhdx, where r is the distance from the axis of rotation (in this case, the x-axis) to the strip, and h is the height of the strip.

In this case, the distance from the x-axis to the strip is simply x, and the height of the strip is √(25 - x^2) - 3. Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical shell is V = 2πx(√(25 - x^2) - 3)dx.

To find the total volume, we need to integrate this expression over the limits of integration for x, which are from -5 to 5 (since the region is symmetric about the y-axis).

So, the volume of the solid is given by the integral V = ∫[from -5 to 5] 2πx(√(25 - x^2) - 3)dx.

Evaluating this integral will give us the final answer for the volume of the solid.
