This example demonstrates the calculation of the volume of a solid of revolution using the disk method. Key math concepts include integral calculus, linear functions, exponential functions, isosceles triangles, geometric mean, and spheres. The construction uses GeoGebra's Circle command to draw circles, and objects such as f (function), a (parameter), A (area), and c (center). It is suitable for high school students learning calculus to understand the method of calculating volumes of solids of revolution.
