The upper limit for the outer integral is expressed in floating-point form. This causes Maple to evaluate the integral numerically. The alternative would be to use a symbolic "1" and find that Maple can evaluate the inner integral exactly, but not evaluate the outer integral. An extra step would then be needed to evaluate the outer integral numerically.
Table 6.3.1(b) contains a solution via a task template that implements the SurfaceInt command from the Student VectorCalculus package. By setting the integrand to 1, the template computes surface area.

Clicking the "Value" button will produce a partly evaluated integral - the inner integral evaluates to a cumbersome expression that the outer integral cannot handle in closed form. The solution given here is a result of pressing the "Floating-Point Approximation" button.
Table 6.3.1(c) contains a solution from first principles.
