How much material is required to make an object? Let's examine Titus' chew toy:

Bounded regions can be rotated about lines other than the x-axis.

Consider the region bounded by y = x and y = x2. What does it look like?

What is the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region about the x-axis?

Compare this to the volume if the region is rotated about the line y = 2.

Volume - Spinning in all directions

Compare this to the volume if the region is rotated about the line y = 2.

Now, rotate this region about the y-axis. What is its volume?
