Answer

$\dfrac{ \pi (2\sqrt 2-1)}{9} $

Work Step by Step

Our aim is to integrate the integral to compute the surface area. In order to solve the integral, we have: $Surface \space Area(S_A)= (2 \pi)\int_{a}^{b} y \sqrt {1+(\dfrac{dy}{dx})^2}$ or, $ =(2 \pi)\int_{0}^{1} \dfrac{y^3}{3} \sqrt {y^4+1} dx$ or, $=[\dfrac{ \pi}{9} \times (y^4+1)^{3/2} ]_{0}^{1}$ or, $=\dfrac{ \pi (2\sqrt 2-1)}{9} $
