Finding the volume and surface area of a sphere

In this lesson we’ll look at the volume and surface area of spheres. A sphere is a perfectly round ball; it’s the three-dimensional version of a circle. There are specific formulas we need to use to find the volume of a sphere and the surface area of a sphere.

Surface area of revolution around the x-axis and y-axis

We can use integrals to find the surface area of the three-dimensional figure that’s created when we take a function and rotate it around an axis and over a certain interval. The formulas we use to find surface area of revolution are different depending on the form of the original function and the axis of rotation.

Finding surface area of one function, bounded by another function, using a double integrals

You can use a double integral to find the area of a surface, bounded by another surface. The most difficult part of this will be finding the bounds of each of the integrals in the double integral.
