Assuming that the figure lies entirely on one side of the axis, the solid's volume is equal to the length of the circle described by the figure's barycenter, times the figure's area.

The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of and and the lines and about the y-axis is given by
If one of the bounding curves is actually the x-axis, then we can let in the formula above, and we have:
The volume of the solid formed by rotating the area between the curves of and and the lines and about the x-axis is given by
As above, we can use
if one of the bounding curves is actually the x-axis.
