This is still not right. For a start, the volume formula doesn't take into account the angle the line segment makes with the axis. -- Daran 23:31, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I suggest to put the "rotation about the x-axis" before the other one, as it is imho the most well-known and the more simple one (direct analogy with π r² (area of circle) resp. × h (volume of cylinder). — MFH: Talk 09:50, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

The Dutch page on Solids of rev. is quite good for pictures. Can someone transfer them over here please? nl:Omwentelingslichaam . I've already put a German picture over, don't quite know what it said for the picture caption. Thanks, DavidMcKenzie 16:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
