- Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
- Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with: ```diff

As you are rotating about the y axis, Convert the equation for x in terms of y. Then differentiate it with respect to y to find the differential arc length, then integrate it from 1 to 4 about the rotation to get the surface area.
why find the arc length
the arc length rotated by 2π is basically the surface area
the arc length multiplied by 2pi?
