$y = x^{2}$ , $x = 2$ , $y = 0$

Step 1

To find the volume of the solid, first define the area of each slice then integrate across the range. The area of each slice is the area of a circle with radius $f (x)$ and $A = π r^{2}$ .

$V = π \int_{0}^{2} {(f (x))}^{2} d x$ where $f (x) = x^{2}$

Step 2
