(a)

\

The plate is circular with center \"\".

\

The diameter of the plates is shown the figure is \"\".

\

Radius is half of the diameter lenght.

\

\"\"

\"\"

\

The standard form of circle is \"\".

\

Consider \"\" is \"\" and  the radius of the circle is \"\".

\

Substitue \"\"and \"\" in standard equation of circle.

\

The ellipse of circle is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

(b)

\

The standard form of surface area of the circle is \"\".

\

The diameter of the each cap is \"\".

\

Radus of the cap is \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

Substitute \"\" in area of the circle.

\

\"\"

\

Find the total area of the each bubble:

\

Each bubble area is \"\".

\

The total bubbles are \"\", Then are is \"\".

\

Find the total area of the plate:

\

Substitute \"\" in the \"\"

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The surface area of the plates not covered by bubble caps.

\

So,area=total area-total each bubble area.

\

Substutute \"\" and \"\" in the not covered by bubble caps area.

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The surface area of the plates not covered by bubble caps is \"\".

\

\

(a) The equation of the plate is  \"\".

\

(b) The surface area of the plates not covered by bubble caps is \"\".
