Find the area cut out of the cylinder x2+z2=49 by the cylinder x2+y2=49.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can you imagine how the common surface looks ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a small cylinder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, ok.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

there is a derivation for surface area in that link

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried that. 16/3 *7^3 and it didn't work.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

trty 16r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that didn't work either

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i mean 16*7^2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what ever that evaluates to..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(16)*7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

784. and that's not right.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try 392

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

did u get why it worked

OpenStudy (anonymous):

half of that 784

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes but why half ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure really

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this closed surface has four faces/walls, yes ? http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/SteinmetzSolid2_501.gif

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

two opposite faces are formed by a cylinder

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you cut it with another cylinder2, you will get a closed surface but the cylinder2 touches cylinder1 only on two faces.. you will need to visualize in ur head
