Calculate the area of $z=frac{x^2}{2}+frac{y^2}{2};$ that is enclosed by $x^2+frac{y^2}{4}=1$

$begingroup$


The exercise is the text in the title. I'm studying surface integrals. To start I thougt to make a change to cartesian coordinates with $z$ as a function of $x$ and $y$, that is, $z=frac{x^2+y^2}{2}$ . With this I make the following parameterization: $O(x,y)=[x/2,y,z=frac{x^2+y^2}{2}]$ Then I calculated the norm of the normal vector of $O(x,y)$ that is $(-x,frac{-y}{2}, 1/2)$.
Is it okay what I did? How did I continue the exercise?

    @RobertZ What I did was parameterize trivially. My parameterization in principle was $L (x, y)=(x,y,(x^+y^)/2)$ but since the module of the vector product of the partial derivatives oficina L(x,y) did not allow me to use using the change in polar corrdinates x^2+(y^2)/2=r^2 in the integral of surface area I decided to use O(x,y) that does allow me to make this change to polar

According to the definition of surface area you have to evaluate
$$A=iint_Ssqrt{1+f_x^2+f_y^2}dxdy=iint_Ssqrt{1+x^2+y^2}dxdy$$
where $z=f(x,y)=frac{x^2+y^2}{2}$ (a paraboloid) and
$S={(x,y):x^2+frac{y^2}{4}leq 1}$ (the interior of an ellipse).
After letting $X=x$, and $Y=y/2$ you should be able to use the polar coordinates. Unfortunately in the final result elliptic integrals are involved and there is no closed form.

    OK. If we replace $x^2+y^2/4=1$ with $x^2+y^2=1$ then the result is $-(2/3)pi+(4/3)sqrt{2}pi$.
