Pappus's Theorem on Volumes THEOREM 6.4.4 PAPPUS'S THOREM ON VOLUMEST A plane region is revolved about an axis that lies in its plane.If the region does not cross the axis,then the volume of the resulting solid of revolution is the area of the region multiplied by the circumference of the circle described by the centroid of the region: V=2πRA where 4 is the area of the region and R is the distance from the axis ofrevolution to the centroid of the region.(See Figure 6.4.8.)
