To find the volume of the solid generated by rotating the area enclosed by the curve y = x² - 9 about the x-axis, we can use the method of cylindrical shells.

The curve y = x² - 9 intersects the x-axis at x = -3 and x = 3. Therefore, the limits of integration will be from -3 to 3.

The radius of each cylindrical shell at a given x-value will be the distance from the x-axis to the curve, which is y = x² - 9. So the radius will be x² - 9.

The height of each cylindrical shell will be the differential change in x, dx.

Therefore, the volume of each cylindrical shell will be 2π(x² - 9)dx.

To find the total volume, we integrate this expression from -3 to 3:

∫[from -3 to 3] 2π(x² - 9)dx
= 2π ∫[from -3 to 3] (x² - 9)dx
= 2π [ (x³/3 - 9x) ] [from -3 to 3]
= 2π [ (3³/3 - 9*3) - (-3³/3 - 9*(-3)) ]
= 2π [ (9 - 27) - (-9 + 27) ]
= 2π [ -18 - 18 ]
= 2π * (-36)
= -72π

Therefore, the volume of the solid generated when the area enclosed by the curve y = x² - 9 is rotated through four right angles about the x-axis is 72π cubic units.

The volume of the solid generated when the area enclosed by the curve y = x² - 9 is rotated through four right angles about the x-axis is given by the formula
$$V=\pi\int_a^b(f(x))^2dx$$

where f(x) is the function that defines the curve and a and b are the x-values of the points where the curve intersects the x-axis.

In this case, f(x) = x² - 9. The curve intersects the x-axis at the points x = -3 and x = 3. Therefore, the volume of the solid generated is given by the following integral:

$$V=\pi\int_{-3}^3(x^2-9)^2dx$$

$$=\pi\int_{-3}^3(x^4-18x^2+81)dx$$

$$=\pi\left[\frac{x^5}{5}-6x^3+81x\right]\bigg|_{-3}^3$$

$$=\pi\left(\frac{3^5}{5}-6(3)^3+81(3)\right)-\pi\left(\frac{(-3)^5}{5}-6(-3)^3+81(-3)\right)$$

$$=243\pi$$

Therefore, the volume of the solid generated when the area enclosed by the curve y = x² - 9 is rotated through four right angles about the x-axis is 243π cubic units.
