OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Ok and please don't spam questions here x_x I was so confused last time haha

OpenStudy (curry):

Pretty sure it's very simple, but i'm brain dead now after all teh discussion... hahaha gotchya... lolol

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Well first off, if it's a rectangle you can use rectangular coordinates!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, your rectangle lies on the plane whose equation is: -y+z=0

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Haha really :( I based it off the coordinates lol.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that your answer is: \[\int\limits_{0}^{1}xdx \int\limits_{0}^{1}zdz \int\limits_{0}^{z}ydy\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Oh, I was right!! :(

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please @Jhannybean note that coordinates x, y, z are not independent, they are constrained by the plane

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Oh you are right, I did not see your integral properly! i noticed the upper limit on the y.

x = u y = v z = v ||Tu x Tv|| = ||(1,0,0) x (0, 1, 1)|| = sqrt(2) rest should be easy

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

nevertheless I think my answer is wrong, because the right answer is a surface integral, dS is the surface differential element. my answer is the measure of function f(x,y,z) on a plane -y+z=0, instead!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\int_R xyz dS = \sqrt{2}\int\limits_{..}^{..} \int\limits_{..}^{..} uv^2 dudv\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah finding the bounds can be tricky ^

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u : 0->1 v : 0->1 should work, double check..
