This example demonstrates the disk method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution. Key mathematical concepts include integration and volume calculation. Using GeoGebra commands such as RectangleSum, Circle, and Area, the construction process of the disk method is visually illustrated. Suitable for high school and above students learning volume calculation in calculus.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. RectangleSum(f, lftx, rtx, NumRectan, RiemLocLMR) → RiemannSum
  2. Circle(A, y(B)) → d
  3. Circle(C, y(B)) → e
  4. RectangleSum(g, lftx, rtx, NumRectan, RiemLocLMR) → RiemannBelowAxis
  5. Area(d) → Circle
  6. PointIn(d) → Pointd
  7. Text(vol) → text2
