Area = 2 areal units.
Volume of the solid of revolution = #pi^2/2# cubic units.

Area = #intydx=intsin x dx#, between the limits #x=0 and x=pi#

= #[- cos x ]#, between the limits

#= [ - cos pi + cos 0 ] = [ 1 + 1 ] = 2# areal units.

Volume = #piint y^2dx= pi int sin^2 x dx#, between the limits #x=0 and x=pi#

#=pi/2int (1-cos 2x)dx#, between the limits #x=0 and x=pi#

#= pi/2[x- (sin 2x)/2 ]#, between the limits

#=pi/2 [ (pi-0)- (0-0) ] = pi^2/2# cubic units/
