Surface Area of a Plane Inside a Cylinder

The video tutorial explains how to find the surface area of a plane within a cylinder using calculus. It begins with a graphical representation of the problem, showing the circle of integration on the xy-plane. The tutorial then sets up a double integral to calculate the surface area, explaining the need to find partial derivatives with respect to x and y. The integral is converted to polar coordinates for easier evaluation, and the limits of integration are defined. Finally, the integral is evaluated to find the exact and approximate surface area, with a final review of the graphical representation.
