THEOREMS OF PAPPUS-GULDINUS

• Surface of revolution is generated by rotating a

plane curve about a fixed axis.

• Area of a surface of revolution is

equal to the length of the generating

curve times the distance traveled by

the centroid through the rotation.

THEOREMS OF PAPPUS-GULDINUS

• Body of revolution is generated by rotating a plane

area about a fixed axis.

• Volume of a body of revolution is

equal to the generating area times

the distance traveled by the centroid

through the rotation.
