How can the volume of a sphere be determined? (Without simply using a formula you've been told.) First, let's look at a circular cylinder. The volume is: Example: Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating about the x-axis the region under the curve y = √x from 0 to 1. Any function that is rotated about the x-axis (or y-axis) creates a solid of revolution.
