What are the bounds for the double integral in this curved surface area problem?

In summary, the "Curved Surface Area Problem" is a mathematical problem used to calculate the surface area of three-dimensional objects with curved surfaces. It is important for real-world applications, such as designing buildings and packaging materials. The formula for calculating the curved surface area varies depending on the shape of the object, but it can be solved using calculus. Real-world applications include calculating the surface area of curved roofs and determining the amount of material needed to cover a curved object.

Homework Statement



Find the area of the part of the surface z^2 = 2*x*y that lies above the xy plane and is bounded by the planes x=0, x=2 and y=0, y=1.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


z = Sqrt[2*x*y]
Sqrt[(partial z/partial x)^2 + (partial z/partial y)^2 +1] =
(Sqrt[2/(x*y)] * (x+y))/2
So Integrate over that but I can't figure out the bounds for this double integral.
Thank You

The boundary is a nice, neat box, so you would just integrate z over 0 <= x <= 2, 0 <= y <= 1.
