How do you use double integrals to find the surface area of two intersecting cylinders of radius 1?

0

To find the area of one cylinder you integrate over dh and dt (theta) like this: r.dt.dh with dt from 0 to 2pi radians. The intersection changes the limits of theta. Assuming that the center of the second cylinder is exactly R from the other cylinder then theta goes from 0 to 2pi*2/3. The 2/3 is because you have removed 120 degrees.
