Section 6.2 – Volumes (Disks, Washers, and by Slicing)

  • Using the disk method to find the volume of a rotational solid
  • Using the washer method to find the volume of a rotational solid
  • Using slices to find the volume of a non-rotational solid

In addition to the videos below, you can see the page for this same section from Math 152. Note 152 and 172 are similar, but different courses.
