| Title: |
The Crusty Loaf of Bread: An Exploration of Area of a Surface of Revolution |
| Description: |
This write-pair-share activity for Calculus II students involves a hypothetical hemispherical loaf of bread with a 12-inch diameter that has been sliced into twelve one-inch-thick slices. The objective is to determine which slice contains the most upper crust (i.e., most area of its surface of revolution). |
