Volumes of RevolutionThe Shell Method
Lesson 7.3
2
Shell Method
• Based on finding volume of cylindrical shells Add these volumes to get the total volume
• Dimensions of the shell Radius of the shell Thickness of the shell Height
3
The Shell
• Consider the shell as one of many of a solid of revolution
• The volume of the solid made of the sum of the shells
f(x)
g(x)
xf(x) – g(x)

Hints for Shell Method
• Sketch the graph over the limits of integration• Draw a typical shell parallel to the axis of
revolution• Determine radius, height, thickness of shell• Volume of typical shell
• Use integration formula

Rotation About x-Axis
• Rotate the region bounded by y = 4x and y = x2 about the x-axis
• What are the dimensions needed? radius height thickness
radius = y
height = 4

thickness = dy

Rotation About Noncoordinate Axis
• Possible to rotate a region around any line
• Rely on the basic concept behind the shell method
x = a
f(x) g(x)

Rotation About Noncoordinate Axis
• What is the radius?
• What is the height?
• What are the limits?
• The integral:
x = a
f(x) g(x)
a – x
f(x) – g(x)
x = c
