The region between y = x & y = -x² + 2x revolves around y = x. Determine the volume.

The volume of the region between the curves y = x and y = -x² + 2x, when revolved around the line y = x, is calculated using the integral V = (π/2^(3/2)) ∫(0 to 1) (x - x²)²(3 - 2x) dx, resulting in V = π/(2^(3/2) * 15). The discussion highlights the application of the theorem of Pappus, questioning the validity of the result π/6. A derived formula for solid revolution about an oblique axis is referenced for further clarification.

I tried using the theorem of Pappus. Is $$\pi/6$$ incorrect?
How did you get your answer?
