MATH 2210 12.6 Surface Area

Solutions to selected homework problems

Note: For graphs of the form

zf ( x , y )

, we may view the surface parametrically

as r^ (^ x ,^ y )^ x i  y j  f ( x , y ) k. Thus, we have r^ x (^ x ,^ y ) i^  fx ( x , y ) k and

r ( x , y ) j f ( x , y ) k x y

 

. Consequently, the cross product is

rr  f ( x , y ) if ( x , y ) j  1 x y x y

so the surface area of a graph

zf ( x , y )

over a region D is given by

Problem 10:

Find the area of the surface

2 2

x  y  z inside the cylinder 9

2 2

y  z .

Note that we will view x as a function of y and z. Therefore, we can represent the surface

as the vector function r^ (^ y^ , z )^ ( y  z ) i  y j  z k

2 2

. Thus, the surface area is given by

Observations: Notice that if the surface is flat (a plane as in #2), the quantity

u v

r  r is a constant that rescales the area of the underlying region of integration.

We can think of the region of integration as the projection of the surface onto the

given plane (say, xy plane) and that u v

rr

rescales the area accordingly.

In the case of a curved surface as in the other problems, the region of integration is

still the projection of the surface onto the xy plane but the variable form accounts

for the curvature of the surface.

Problem 24: There are several ways to do this problem. The simplest may be finding

the area of the surface that intersects the positive x axis and taking the region of

integration in the yz plane to be 1

2 2

y  z . As such, the surface ‘above’ this region is

2

x  f ( y , z ) 1  z so it has vector representation

r   z iy jz k

As a result,

However, this integral is improper since it is undefined at z = 1. Hence, we have

However, this is only ONE of four such faces of intersection. Consequently, the total

surface area is 16 square units.

Alternate Solution

Using polar coordinates in the yz plane, we have the vector representation

for
