Calculus: Volumes of Solids

schnortz, 01.11.2015

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.
