The problem asks us to find the volumes of solids generated by revolving the triangle with vertices \((2,2)\), \((2,7)\), and \((5,7)\) about different lines:

### Part (a): Revolving around the **x-axis**
For this, we use the **disk method** or **washer method**. First, let's analyze the equation of the triangle's sides and then set up the integrals.

1. **The region** is bounded by:
   - A vertical line at \( x = 2 \) between \( y = 2 \) and \( y = 7 \).
   - A slanted line from \( (2,7) \) to \( (5,7) \).

We need to determine the equations for these sides. Then, for revolving around the x-axis, the volume is obtained by integrating the squares of the functions that describe the edges.

### Part (b): Revolving around the **y-axis**
For this case, we will use the **cylindrical shell method** because we're revolving around a vertical axis (the y-axis). The formula for the volume is:

\[
V = 2\pi \int_{a}^{b} \text{radius} \cdot \text{height} \, dx
\]

We calculate based on the distance from the y-axis and the height of the triangle at each point.

### Part (c): Revolving around the line **x = 9**
This is similar to revolving around the y-axis, but we will shift the axis to \( x = 9 \), which involves modifying the radius accordingly. Again, we use the cylindrical shell method, but with the distance from the line \( x = 9 \).

### Part (d): Revolving around the line **y = 2**
This is like the case of revolving around the x-axis, but we are now revolving around a shifted horizontal axis. This changes the limits and the function we use for the radius.
