 Solution

The endpoint radii are $5$ and $13$, but substituting those two numbers in the finite conical frustum formula is invalid. A rotation about the $z$-axis preserves the horizontal angle between the endpoint position vectors; here $(3,4)$ and $(12,5)$ are not parallel. The radius along the generating segment is not linear in height.

Parametrize the actual segment byIts rotated circle at height $1+6t$ has radiusThus the rotated image is the surface of revolution $\mathbf{R}(t,\theta )=(\rho (t)\cos \theta ,\rho (t)\sin \theta ,1+6t)$. Applying the conical frustum formula to infinitesimal pieces of this radial profile, or directly using the cross product as in ii, gives the surface area of a surface of revolutionTo evaluate it explicitly, put $u=82t+31$. Then $9676t^2+7316t+1861=(59u^2+19602)/41$. DefineThe chain rule gives $G^{\prime }(u)=2\sqrt{59u^2+19602}$, so the answer isThe positive logarithm arguments make this a real-valued expression. Rotating the segment's endpoints independently into one vertical plane before joining them would instead create a different surface, with surface area $180\pi \simeq 565.4867$.
