Paraboloid sector surface measures
ID: paraboloid-sector-surface-measures
For and , the curved sector , , has volume beneath it. Its surface area isTo derive this, parametrize the surface by . The upward vector area element is ; its magnitude integrates to the stated surface area. Its integral gives the vector areaIn the shallow limit , the surface area is , approaching the area of its planar sector projection.
