Choose the oriented surface parametrization , with . Then and . The surface integral isFor the compatible boundary direction, use successive vertices , , , and back. The four line integrals are respectivelyTheir sum is , agreeing with the surface integral. Choosing the opposite normal and reversing the boundary direction gives on both sides. Stating an orientation is necessary because the question does not prescribe one.
