Integration — practice question

Fig. 1 illustrates a section of the curve $y = x^2 - 1$ together with the line $y = h$, where $h$ is a constant.
(a(i))[3]

The shaded region is turned through $360^{\circ}$ around the $y$-axis. Show that the volume of revolution, $V$, is $V = \pi\left(\frac{1}{2}h^2 + h\right)$.

(a(ii))[4]

Find the area of the shaded region when $h = 3$, showing all working needed.

(b)[4]
