This is part of the QCE Specialist Maths course. Let’s start with the basics of volumes and solids of revolution, calculating the area of regions between curves determined by functions.
In this post, we will calculate the volume of a solid of revolution formed by rotating a region in the plane about the x-axis or y-axis.
Introduction to solids of a revolution
How to calculate solids of a revolution
We will also determine the volumes of solids of a revolution that are formed by rotating the region between two curves about either the x-axis or y-axis in both real-life and abstract contexts.
