Volume of a Solid with Square Cross Sections

Question

A solid has as its base the region in the first quadrant bounded by the $$x$$-axis, the $$y$$-axis, the graph of $$y = e^x$$, and the line $$x = 1$$. If cross sections of the solid perpendicular to the $$x$$-axis are squares, what is its volume?
