GEOMETRY PROOF: VOLUME OF A SPHERE

Another way to view a sphere is as a semi-circle rotated about an axis. Use a generic semi-circle such as to prove that the volume of a sphere with radius is .

Set up and evaluate an integral showing what happens when you rotate the arbitrary semicircle about the -axis.

Note:
radius of the sphere, which is a constant.
rotating radii, which are not constant.
