Problem 31E

More Parametrizations of Surfaces

a. A torus of revolution (doughnut) is obtained by rotating a circle C in the xz-plane about the z-axis in space. (See the accompanying figure.) If C has radius r > 0 and center (R, 0, 0), show that a parametrization of the torus is

where are the angles in the figure.

b. Show that the surface area of the torus is
