Volume of a cylinder
If the area of the base is A and the height of the cylinder is h, then the volume V
of the cylinder is defined as
V = Ah

V = A(x)dx (5)

and outer radius rout and compute the area of the washer by

Polar area

Sketch the polar curve r = 2 and θ = 6
(a) If a polar equation is unchanged when θ is replaced by −θ, the curve is sym-
metric about the polar axis.
(b) If the equation is unchanged when r is replaced by −r , or when θ is replaced
by θ + π, the curve is symmetric about the pole. (This means that the curve
remains unchanged if we rotate it through 1800 about the origin.)
(c) If the equation is unchanged when θ is replaced by π−θ, the curve is symmetric
about the vertical line θ = π/2.

Surface Area (Case 1)
Suppose f is positive and has a continuous derivative on [a, b], we define the
