In summary, the problem at hand is to find the area of the region formed by the intersection of the plane x + 2y + 2z = 5 and the cylinder with walls x = y^2 and x = 2 - y. To solve this, start by visualizing the graphs of the two equations and determining their intersection points. Then, the limits of integration can be determined and the area can be calculated using the differential of the plane. There are multiple methods for computing this, so the individual should mention what they have tried.

i hope anyway lol here's my problem

Find area of Region cut from plane x + 2y + 2z = 5
by the cylinder whose walls are x = y^2 and x = 2 - y

can someone point me in the right direction

Start by drawing a picture- what do the graphs of x= y2 and x= 2- y look like? Where do they intersect? If you were integrating over that region, what would the limits of integration be? And, of course, you want to integrate the "differential of area" for the plane x+ 2y+ 2z= 5. Since that is a plane, there are several different ways of computing that. What have you tried?
