### Volumes of solids of revolution
Shapes formed by rotating a line or curve about a fixed axis, such as cones, spheres, and cylinders are all known as **solids of revolution**. By splicing each shape into infinitely small disks, the cylinder volume formula can be used to find the volume of the solid.
$$
\begin{align*}
V&=\lim_{x\to 0}\sum^b_{x=a}\pi y^2 dx \\
&=\int^b_a y^2 dx
\end{align*}
$$
The area between two curves can also be rotated to form a solid, in which case its formula is:
$$V=\pi\int^b_a \big[g(x)^2-f(x)^2\big]dx, g(x)>f(x)$$
