Observe the graph:
\Region is bounded by graph on the interval
.
Area of surface of revolution formed by revolving the graph of
about horizontal or vertical axis is \ \
.
Where
is continuous function on interval
and
is the distance between thegraph of
and axis of revolution.
Calculate area of the upper half and then by symmetry multiply the result by 2.
\Substitute corresponding values.
\Therefore, 

Substitute
.

There is an infinite discontinuity at
and
.


Total surface area is double the upper half.

square units.
Surface area of revolution of torus is
