Finding the volume is an integral characteristic of a vase. Using the idea that summing the areas of cross-sectional disks will calculate the volume of a rotational solid, pupils find the volume of a vase. Scholars determine the interval to integrate over and the formula to find the area of each disk. They then calculate the volume of the vase.
