constant cross-sectional area. Its volume is then the product of its In this section, we will investigate using integrals to find the volume of objects of different shapes. In Figure 1, we see a right cylinder of constant cross-sectional area. Its volume is then the product of its cross-sectional area and its height: V = Ah. Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company
In Figure 2, we see a right cylinder whose cross-sectional area varies as some function of its height. If we were to imagine taking numerous horizontal slices through the cylinder, each slice would be a thin right cylinder whose volume could be approximated by: V = AΔh. In the limit, as Δh → 0, the sum of the individual volumes is the integral: Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company
