Calculus: Volumes of Solids

schnortz, Rachael Fountain, 2. 3. 2017

Create solids using cross sections of disk, washers, rectangles, triangles, and semicircles or instead by the cylindrical shell method. Ideal for Calculus students studying volume.


  • 1. Volume via the Disk-Washer Method rotated about y=
  • 2. Volume via the Disk-Washer Method rotated about x=
  • 3. Volume via Rectangular Cross Sections
  • 4. Volume via Triangular Cross Sections
  • 5. Volume via Semi-Circular Cross Sections
  • 6. Volume via Cylindrical Shells Method rotated about x=

Volume via the Disk-Washer Method rotated about y=

Designed to help visualize an object built upon disk / washer cross sections. Set the two functions, limits, axis of rotation, and number of cross sections. View from two 2-D and 3-D perspectives.
