Answer

$$ y=f(x)=\sqrt {36-x^{2}} $$ The function has as its graph a semicircle of radius $r=6$ with center at$(0,0)$. The volume that results when the semicircle is rotated about the $x$-axis is given by : $$ \begin{aligned} V &=\pi \int_{-6}^{6}(f(x))^{2} d x\\ &=\pi \int_{-6}^{6}(\sqrt{36-x^{2}})^{2} d x \\ &=288 \pi. \end{aligned} $$
