Homework Statement
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the triangular region bounded by the lines [tex]y= 2x[/tex], [tex]y= 0[/tex] and [tex]x= 1[/tex] about the line [tex]x= 1[/tex].
Homework Equations
[tex]V= \int A(x)dx = \int \pi[R(x)]^{2}dx[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I used the disk method, in which I found the radius of the solid. I found the radius to be [tex]1- y/2[/tex].
[tex]V= \int \pi[1- y/2]^{2}dx[/tex]
By the way, the upper limit is 1 and the lower limit is 0. I don't know how to put that in latex.
So I got an answer of [tex]7\pi/12[/tex]. Am I right?
