The area of the region is bounded by y = x² and y = 0

As the specified curve is about y axis then convert the x terms into y.

y = x² ⇒ x = √y

If x = 0 then y = 0

If x = 3 then y = 9

Then area of the region A(x) = πx² = π(3² - (√y)²)

Now volume of the region is image.

Therefore the volume of the region is 81π/2.
