Homework Statement


Find the surface area of portion of plane x + y + z = 3 that lies above the disc (x^2) + (y^2) < 2 in the first octant ...

Here's the solution provided by the author ...
I think it's wrong ... I think it should be the green coloured area + the black area ...

If it's only the black area , then the problem is find the surface area of portion of plane x + y + z = 3 that lies above the cylinder (x^2) + (y^2) < 2 in the first octant..

No, it's just the black area.

That's not what they wrote. The disc they described consists of all the points in the x-y plane that lie inside the circle ##x^2 + y^2 = 2##.

The disc here refers to the circle with radius 2 lie on the xy plane where z = 0?

Almost -- the radius is ##\sqrt{2}##. And yes, the disc is in the x-y plane.
