1. Find the surface area of the part of the surface z = x2 + 2y that lies above the triangular region
T in the xy-plane with vertices (0, 0), (1, 0), and (1, 1).
2. Find the area of the part of the paraboloid z = x2 + y2 that lies under the plane z = 9.
3. Find the area of the part plane 3x + 2y + z = 6 that lies in the first octant.

4. Suppose that we define functions u( x, y) and v( x, y) on R2 and identify the locations of points
by their u and v values instead of their x and y values. Then
