Answer

$A(S) \leq \pi \sqrt 3 R^2$

Work Step by Step

We have $A(S)=\iint_{D} \sqrt {1+(f_x )^2+(f_y)^2 } dA $ and $\iint_{D} dA$ is the area of the region $D$ We are given that $|f_x| \leq 1 \implies (f_x)^2 \leq 1$ and $|f_x| \leq 1 \implies (f_y)^2 \leq 1$ Thus, $\sqrt {1+(f_x )^2+(f_y)^2 } \leq \sqrt {1+1+1} $ or, $\sqrt {1+(f_x )^2+(f_y)^2 } \leq \sqrt 3$ Now, $A(S) \leq \sqrt 3 \iint_{D} dA$ Since, $x^2+y^2 \leq R^2$ and the area of the region $D$ is $\pi R^2$ Therefore, $ \iint_{D} dA= \pi R^2$ and $A(S) \leq \pi \sqrt 3 R^2$
