Here is another way we could approach this problem:

0 1 2 cross section

If we take a vertical slice and revolve it about the y-axis we get a cylinder.

If we add all of the cylinders together, we can reconstruct the original object.

r is the x value of the function.

h is the y value of the function.

thickness is dx .
