    Help With Volumes

    Im very confused: why is it that when u find the volume when the curve y = sqrt x is rotated between x = 0 and x = 4 around the y-axis you have to do: volume of cylinder with radius 4 and height 2 - S(from y=2 to y=0)of y^4 dy; How come u cant just do S(from y=2 to y=0)of y^4 dy

Im talking about the ones similar to the HSC...
