Homework Statement
The question states:
Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.
The lines are, y=lnX, y = 1, y = 2, and x = 0, rotated about the y-axis.
I know how to integrate it, I just don't exactly know which region I'm taking the volume of, so I am having trouble setting up the integration problem.
I have provided a graph of the curves.

EDIT:
I think I got it, here's my attempt at the solution:
I'm going to use the area of circles method going vertical. So I find the distance from the y-axis to the lnX curve, which is equal to [tex]e^y[/tex]. From there I do [tex]\int_{0}^{2}\pi(e^{2y})dy -\int_{0}^{1}\pi(e^{2y})dy[/tex]
