    Pappus's Centroid Theorem states that the surface area of a surface of revolution is equal to the product of the arc length of the generating curve and the distance traveled by the curve's geometric centroid. Similarly, the volume of a solid of revolution is equal to the product of the area of the generating lamina and the distance traveled by the lamina's geometric centroid. The theorem is used to calculate the surface areas of various surfaces of revolution, such as cones, cylinders, and spheres, which are generated by lines, line segments, and semicircles respectively.

    Pappus's Centroid Theorem

    The first theorem of Pappus states that the surface area of a surface of
    revolution generated by the revolution of a curve about an external axis is
    equal to the product of the arc length of the generating curve and the
    distance traveled by the curve's geometric centroid ,

    (Kern and Bland 1948, pp. 110-111). The following table summarizes the
    surface areas calculated using Pappus's centroid theorem for various
    surfaces of revolution.

    generating curve

    cone

    inclined line segment

    cylinder

    parallel line segment

    sphere

    semicircle

    Similarly, the second theorem of Pappus states that the volume of a solid
    of revolution generated by the revolution of a lamina about an external axis
    is equal to the product of the area of the lamina and the distance
    traveled by the lamina's geometric centroid ,

    (Kern and Bland 1948, pp. 110-111). The following table summarizes the
    surface areas and volumes calculated using Pappus's centroid theorem for
    various solids and surfaces of revolution.

    generating lamina

    cone
