In this course, a “flag” is defined as a geometric region attached to a line segment (its “pole”). An example is shown at right.

  1. Imagine rotating the flag about its pole and describe the resulting three-dimensional figure. Draw a picture of this figure on your paper.

    Pretend you are the pole that is ft tall. Hold out your ( ft) arm
    perpendicular to your body and spin around . Imagine the shape.

    The shape is a cylinder with height of and radius of .

  1. Calculate the volume of the rotated flag.

Use the eTool below to visualize the flag.
