Figure 1(b)

cone generated by revolving the given line about the x-axis

The cone can be generated by revolving the line  (the red uppermost arrow in figure 1(b)) about the x‑axis. Each cross section (perpendicular to the x‑axis) is a disk; thus the volume is given by,

 

 

Solving this integral gives,
