Explanation:

π ∫₀¹ x² dx

This integral is obtained using disk method. Each disk has a volume of V = πr²t, so the radius is r = x.

The region is 0 ≤ y ≤ x, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

Revolved around the x-axis, the resulting shape is a cone.

If the shape were a paraboloid, the integral would have been:

π ∫₀¹ (x²)² dx

π ∫₀¹ x⁴ dx
