Okay so the question goes:
Find the volume of the solid generated by revolving the plane region bounded from upward by circle $x^2 + y^2 = 4$ and from downward by two straight lines $y = x$ and $y = -x$ around $x-axis$
So as I read this the question, I imagined he's asking me to draw a circle whose radius is 2, and then 2 lines making a sector in that circle and then revolve that sector around x-axis. I had 3 attempts at this and all 3 gave different answers.
First attempt, the original Calculus attempt (the problem is in a Calculus textbook): $$\pi \left(\int _{-2}^0\left(\sqrt{4-x^2}+x\right)^2dx\:+\:\int _0^2\left(\sqrt{4-x^2}-x\right)^2dx\:\:\right) = \frac{16\pi}{3}$$ I suspected this answer because I tried rotating the whole circle and found that the volume of the sphere was $\frac{32\pi}{3}$ which made me confused because I don't know if the rotated sector can have half the volume of the rotated sphere.
Second attempt, tried using some basic geometry:
We know that the two lines forming the sector are $y = x$ and $y = -x$, so it's pretty obvious that the angle between each one and the $x-axis$ is $45$ degrees, therefore the angle between the two lines is $90$ degrees. Which is again obvious since one is only the negative of the other. I googled the formula of the Area of Sector and it was $(\frac{\theta}{2})*r^2$, andI know the volume of any regular shape is $V = Area*h$ I didn't know whether to use the radius as the height or the height of sector so I tried both, and they evaluated to $V = 2\pi$ and $V \approx 1.8$
I suspected this one was wrong because the values are too small?
Third attempt, I simply calculated the total volume of sphere and divided by 4 knowing the sector is a quarter-circle:
$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$, $ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi *(2)^3 = \frac{32\pi}{3}, V of sector = \frac{\frac{32\pi}{3}}{4} = \frac{8\pi}{3}$
this caught my attention because it was exactly the half of the first answer. But honestly, after these attempts all with different answers I just think I am completely wrong with the three of them at this point. I hope someone clears up why I am wrong, if I am.
