Final answer:

To find the area of the surface that lies inside the given plane and cylinder, you need to determine the intersection curve between the two surfaces. This can be done by solving the equations simultaneously. Once you have the intersection curve, you can set up the double integral to find the area of the surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the surface that lies inside the given plane and cylinder, we need to determine the intersection curve between the two surfaces by solving the equations simultaneously.

Substituting the equation of the plane and cylinder, we get 4x + 4y + z = 16 and x^2 + y^2 = 9. Rearranging the equation of the plane, we have z = 16 - 4x - 4y. Substituting this into the equation of the cylinder, we get x^2 + y^2 = 9.

Now we have a system of two equations: x^2 + y^2 = 9 and z = 16 - 4x - 4y. We can solve these equations to find the intersection curve, which will give us the limits for integration to find the area. Once we have the limits, we can set up the double integral to find the area of the surface.

As a first step, convert to cylindrical coordinates. The equation
x^2+y^2=9=3^2 is a clue to set


x=3r\cos\theta


y=3r\sin\theta

then have
0\le r\le1 and
0\le\theta\le2\pi. Meanwhile, the plane equation tells you to use


4x+4y+z=16\implies z=16-12r\cos\theta-12r\sin\theta

So we parameterize the part of the plane within the cylinder with the vector-valued function


\mathbf s(r,\theta)=(3r\cos\theta,3r\sin\theta,15-12r\cos\theta-12r\sin\theta)

The surface integral giving the area of the surface is



\displaystyle\iint_(\mathcal S)\mathrm dS

where
\mathcal S denotes the surface in question, and the surface element
\mathrm dS is


\mathrm dS=\left\|(\partial\mathbf s)/(\partial r)*(\partial\mathbf s)/(\partial\theta)\right\|\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta

We have


(\partial\mathbf s)/(\partial r)=(3\cos\theta,3\sin\theta,-12(\cos\theta+\sin\theta))


(\partial\mathbf s)/(\partial\theta)=(-3r\sin\theta,3r\cos\theta,12r(\sin\theta-\cos\theta))


\implies\mathrm dS=\|(36r,36r,9r\|\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=9√(33)r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta

So the area is


\displaystyle\iint_(\mathcal S)\mathrm dS=9√(33)\int_(\theta=0)^(\theta=2\pi)\int_(r=0)^(r=1)r\,\mathrm dr\,\mathrm d\theta=18√(33)\,\pi
