\n" ); document.write( "The triangle with vertices (a,a), (a, 2a), (2a,2a) is rotated about:
\n" ); document.write( "a) The x-axis
\n" ); document.write( "b) The y- axis
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume in each case.
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "I will assume that \"a\" is positive real number.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Notice that this given triangle is SPECIAL. It has vertical leg from (a,a), to (a,2a) \r\n" );
document.write( "and horizontal leg from (a,2a) to (2a,2a).  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the triangle itself is a right angled triangle. It is \"the upper half of the square\"   a <= x, y <= 2a,\r\n" );
document.write( "cut in two halves by its diagonal y = x.  It facilitates thinking and calculations.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "          Let' consider rotation about x-axis.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The volume is the area of the ring in vertical section x= const, integrated over (or along) x-coordinate\r\n" );
document.write( "from  x= a  to  x= 2a.  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The area of the ring is  \"pi%2A%28%282a%29%5E2-x%5E2%29\" = \"pi%2A%284a%5E2+-+x%5E2%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus the volume is the integral of the function  \"pi%2A%284a%5E2-x%5E2%29\"  from  \"a\"  to  \"2a\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The antiderivative is  the function  F(x) = \"pi%2A%284a%5E2%2Ax+-+x%5E3%2F3%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the final integral value is the difference  F(2a) - F(a), which is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     = \"pi%2A%284a%5E3+-+7a%5E3%2F3%29\" = \"pi%2A%285%2F3%29%2Aa%5E3\" = \"%285%2F3%29%2Api%2Aa%5E3\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus the volume of the body of revolution in this case is  \"%285%2F3%29%2Api%2Aa%5E3\",  in terms of \"a\", assuming \"a\" is positive.    ANSWER\r\n" );

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice that in case of rotation about y-axis the reasoning is very similar.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The difference is that the body of rotation is formed in this case by the  \" lower triangle of the square \"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(not by the  \" upper half of the square \",  as it was in the previous case).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,  if you got my method above,  then it will be easy to you to manage with the other case.\r
