39. Choose - and -axes so that the base (one side of the triangle) lies along the -axis with the other vertex along the positive -axis as shown. From geometry, we know the medians intersect at a point23 of the way from each vertex (along the median) to the opposite side. The median from goes to the midpoint1
2( + ) 0of side , so the point of intersection of the medians is2
3 ·12( + )13

3( + )13 .
This can also be verified by finding the equations of two medians, and solving them simultaneously to find their point of intersection. Now let us compute the location of the centroid of the triangle. The area is =12( − ).

45. A cone of height and radius can be generated by rotating a right triangle about one of its legs as shown. By Exercise 39, =13, so by the Theorem of Pappus, the volume of the cone is
= =1
2· base · height
· (2) =12 · 21 3
=132.
46. From the symmetry in the figure, = 4. So the distance traveled by the centroid when rotating the triangle about the -axis is = 2 · 4 = 8. The area of the triangle is =12 =12(2)(3) = 3. By the Theorem of Pappus, the volume of the resulting solid is = 3(8) = 24.
47. The curve is the quarter-circle =√
16 − 2, 0 ≤ ≤ 4. Its length is14(2 · 4) = 2.
Now 0= 12(16 − 2)−12(−2) = −

. Note that the centroid does not lie on the curve, but does lie on the line = , as expected, due to the symmetry of the curve.
48. (a) From Exercise 47, we have = (1)
⇔ = . The surface area is
=
2 = 2 = 2() = (2), which is the product of the arc length of and the distance traveled by the centroid of .
(b) From Exercise 47, = 2 and =8. By the Second Theorem of Pappus, the surface area is
= (2) = 2(2 ·8) = 32.
A geometric formula for the surface area of a half-sphere is = 22. With = 4, we get = 32, which agrees with our first answer.
49. The circle has arc length (circumference) = 2. As in Example 7, the distance traveled by the centroid during a rotation is
= 2. Therefore, by the Second Theorem of Pappus, the surface area is
= = (2)(2) = 42
