The surface area of revolution for the function \( f(x) = \sin{x} \) over the interval \([-π, \frac{5π}{4}]\) is calculated using the formula \( S = 2\pi \int_a^b f(x) \sqrt{1+[f(x)]^2} \, dx \). The integration is split into two parts: \( S = 4\pi \int_0^\pi \sin{x} \sqrt{1+\cos^2{x}} \, dx + 2\pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \sin{x} \sqrt{1+\cos^2{x}} \, dx \). By substituting \( u = \cos{x} \) and \( u = \tan{t} \), the integrals simplify to \( S = 8\pi \int_0^{\pi/4} \sec^3{t} \, dt + 2\pi \int_{\arctan(1/\sqrt{2})}^{\pi/4} \sec^3{t} \, dt \). The final result approximates to \( S \approx 31.27 \).
