1. Volumes of Revolution Day 4 Volumes in Bases

2. The title is deceiving This section isn’t actually rotations – instead, there will be a shape whose base will be under a curve or between two curves. We are still using the idea of We just will be integrating the shapes along an axis. You might see squares, semicircles, triangles… - the possibilities are endless!

3. Suggestion Plan to do 2 drawings – one in the x/y plane to demonstrate the shape of the base. Then possible, a second 3D drawing that shows the shape of the figure with its base. Demos are always great too!! Here’s another!!

4. Examples 1.The vertex of a pyramid lies at the origin. The base is perpendicular to the x axis at x = 4. Cross sections are squares whose diagonals run from to.

5. 2.Base of a solid is. Each section of the solid cut by a plane perpendicular to the x axis is a square with one edge in the base of the solid. Find the volume.

6. 3. The cross sections of a solid cut by planes perpendicular to the x axis are circles with diameter extending from to. The solid lies between the points of intersection of these 2 curves. Find the volume of the solid.
