Use the positive graph . The printed PDF bounds are , so its projection is the annulus . The surface is the corresponding band of the upper sheet of a two-sheeted hyperboloid, bounded by circles of radii and at heights and .
The upper hyperboloid band between heights square root of two and square root of five, with annular projection
. For the parametrization , its tangent vectors are and . Their cross product gives the upward vector surface element of a graph:Its magnitude gives the scalar surface area of a graph:Both formulas apply on . Reversing the orientation changes only the sign of the vector element.
