To calculate the surface of revolution, we need to evaluate S = ∫ 0 3 5 2 π G ( t ) 1 + G ′ ( t ) 2 d t which is a relatively straightforward piecewise integral, equal to 5 0 4 1 [ 8 4 2 4 0 π + 4 3 2 0 0 5 π + 3 1 0 0 0 1 0 π + 6 9 5 7 5 1 3 π + 6 4 0 3 9 4 π + 5 8 3 2 1 0 π sinh − 1 ( 3 1 ) + 6 9 1 2 5 π sinh − 1 ( 2 1 ) + 5 8 3 2 1 0 π sinh − 1 ( 2 7 1 6 ) + 6 9 1 2 5 π sinh − 1 ( 2 ) ] which rounds to 3 6 6 9 .
