6.2 Disc and Washer Method
Definite integrals can be used to find the volume of solids. In calculus, the "slicing method" of finding a solid's volume involves dividing that solid into many thin slices, estimating the volume of each slice, and then summing up those volumes through integration. In this section, we learn two methods, namely the "disc method" and the "washer method," that involve slicing a solid into smaller sections to find its overall volume.
