Volume #V=4.140107808" "#cubic units

Given equation #y=sec x# and #x# is from #pi/8# to #pi/3#.

Differential volume #dv=pi*r^2*dh# for circular solid disk

In terms of our variable

#dv=pi*f(x)^2*dx#

Volume #V#

#V=int dv=int_(pi/8)^(pi/3) pi*sec^2 x*dx#

#V=pi*[tan x]_(pi/8)^(pi/3)#

#V=pi*(tan pi/8-tan pi/3#)#

#V=4.140107808" "#cubic units

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
