Chapter 15 - Multiple Integrals - 15.5 Surface Area - 15.5 Exercises - Page 1068: 3

Answer

$3 \sqrt {14}$

Work Step by Step

We write the surface area of the part $z=f(x,y)$ as follows: $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(f_x)^2+(f_y)^2} dx \ dy$ and, $\iint_{D} dA$ defines the projection of the surface on the xy-plane. Our aim is to calculate the area of the given surface. $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(-3)^2+(-2)^2} dA=\sqrt {14} \iint_{D} dA$ Now, the area of the triangle is: $=\dfrac{1}{2} b h =\dfrac{2 \times 3}{2}=3$ So, $A(S)=\sqrt {14} \iint_{D} dA=3 \sqrt {14}$
