Paraboloid sector surface measures

ID: paraboloid-sector-surface-measures

For and , the curved sector , , has volume beneath it. Its surface area is
To 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 area
In the shallow limit , the surface area is , approaching the area of its planar sector projection.
