    The passage discusses calculating volumes of revolution for various solids using integrals. Regions bounded by curves are rotated about axes to form solids whose volumes can then be determined.

    To calculate volumes of revolution, one must identify the region bounded by curves, set up the integral to calculate the area of each cross-sectional disk, integrate with respect to the variable of rotation (x or y), and evaluate the integral to find the volume.

    When the region is bounded by more than one curve, the volume integral is set up as the difference of the integrals for the individual regions bounded by each curve. The region between the two curves is what revolves to form the solid.
