7.2 Finding Volume using the Washer Method
Example 1) Find the volume of the solid formed by revolving the
region bounded by the graphs y = x and y = x2 about the x-axis.
This application of the method of slicing is called the washer method.
The shape of the slice is a circle with a hole in it, so we subtract the
area of the inner circle from the area of the outer circle.
Washer Method Formula
OR
Example 2) Find the volume of the solid enclosed by the
curves y = x and y = x2 when it is rotated about the y-axis.
What if the line was rotated about the line
Example 3) Find the volume of the region bounded by the
curves y = x and y = x2 when it is rotated about the line y = 3.
Example 4) The region bounded by y = x2 and y = 2x is
revolved about the y-axis. Find the volume.
If we use a horizontal slice, the disk now
has a hole in it, making it a washer.
The volume of the washer is:
outer
radius
inner
radius
thickness

Example 5) The region to the right is enclosed
by x = 0, y = 0, x = 1 and y = x2 + 1.
What is the volume of the solid formed by
revolving this region about the x-axis?
What about if we revolved it around the y-axis?

Example 7) Find the volume of the region bounded between x = 0,
y = 1, x = 1, y = (x-1)2 +1 when it is rotated....
a) about the x-axis
b) about x = -1
c) about x = 2
