V=1212π2597.111.

Explanation:

This is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid obtained from a revolution around the x-axis:
V=πbaf2(x)dx
Our function f(x)=11sinxanda=0,b=π.
So the volume is:
V=ππ0121sin2(x)dx
V=121ππ0sin2(x)dx
V=121π[12(xsin(x)cos(x))]π0=1212π[xsin(x)cos(x)]π0
V=1212π(π00+0)=1212π2597.111.
