14 Volumes

This document provides examples and formulas for calculating the volumes of solids of revolution using three methods: the disc method, washer method, and shell method. It includes examples of finding the volumes of solids generated by revolving regions bounded by curves like parabolas, circles, and lines around axes. Formulas are derived for volumes of pyramids, wedges, and frustums of pyramids. A variety of practice problems are provided applying these methods to find volumes.
