Surface Area with Polar Coordinates

We will be searching for at surface area in polar coordinates in this part.  Note though that all we're going to do is illustrate the formulas for the surface area as most of these integrals tend to be quite difficult.

 We want to locate the surface area of the region found through rotating,

r = f (θ)

α < θ < β

about the x or y-axis.

Like we did in the tangent and arc length sections we will write the curve in terms of a set of parametric equations.

x= r cosθ

= f (θ) cos θ

y = r sin θ

= f (θ) sin θ

If we now make use of the parametric formula for finding the surface area we'll obtain,

S = ∫ 2Πy ds                             rotation about x-axis

S = ∫ 2Πx ds                             rotation about y-axis

Where

ds = √r2 + (dr/dθ)2

r = f (θ) , α < θ < β

Note: since we will pick up a  dθ  from the ds we'll require to substitute one of the parametric equations in for x or y depending upon the axis of rotation.  This will frequently mean that the integrals will be rather unpleasant.
