Which integral correctly computes the volume formed when the region bounded by the curves x2 + y2 = 25, x = 3 and y = 0 is rotated around the y-axis? HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Have you sketched it out for yourself? I'm beginning to sketch it for myself right now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I have

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

From what I'm getting the bounded area is sort of like a pie slice, and the volume looks like a doughnut or something. It's got a big hole through the center.

i know the intefral has sqrt 25-y^2 in it

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Yes, that's a good start. We need to take into account the hole as well in order to get the correct integral.

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

Our slices are basically "washers" or cylinders with holes. From above, the slices look like this:
