Topic 41 = Stewart 6.2 Volumes of Revolution, Washer Method

AP Classroom Videos: 8.11 (Volumes of Revolution, Washer Method, x- and y-axes) and 8.12 (Volumes of Revolution, Washer Method, other axes)

Lesson Summary: Let the revolution continue! Still all about circles, but now it's an outer circle and an inner circle. Find the outer radius, make a disc, then find the inner radius, make a disc, and subtract. It's still as easy as pi, right? Note: the "washer" method is not anything new. . . it's just two discs: the volumes are created by finding an "outer" disc and coring out an "inner" disc.
