Chapter 15 - Multiple Integrals - 15.5 Surface Area - 15.5 Exercises - Page 1069: 24

Answer

$16$

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. The equation of the surface can be written as: $z=\sqrt {1-x^2}$ is t. Since, the cylinders $y^2+z^2=1$ and $x^2+z^2=1$ intersect along the planes $x=y$ and $x=-y$. This means that we need to calculate the total area 8 times of the area. Our aim is to calculate the area of the given surface.$A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt{1+(0)^2+(-x/z)^2} dA \\= \iint_{D} \sqrt{\dfrac{x^2+z^2}{z^2}} dA \\ = \iint_{D} \dfrac{1}{\sqrt {1-x^2}} dA \\ =\int_{0}^1 \int_{-x}^x \dfrac{1}{\sqrt {1-x^2}} \ dy \ dx \\ =[-2 \sqrt {1-x^2}]_0^1 \\=2$ Therefore, we have the total area is $ A(S)= 2 \times 8 =16$
